What Causes Abdominal Bloating After An Accident?

I was in a car accident on Monday August 10th and was hit on the drivers side and the side airbags deployed. I have lacerations on my arm from the airbag and bruising from the seatbelt etc. my question is about the bloating in my stomach, is this a normal reaction or should I be concerned?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello there,

I would recommend that you get an abdominal scan done. This may already have been done in the hospital after your accident. If not I would recommend that you get one done and rule out any kind of internal injury.

Please write in if you have any further queries. Take care.
