Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have abdominal bloating along with difficulty in breathing . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome , gas pains , gastroenteritis , giardiasis , constipation , lactose intolerance , ulcerative colitis or inflammatory bowel disease . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan , ultrasound , stool test and endoscopy. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole , laxative , antibiotics like ornidazole and albendazole. Avoid intake of large meals at a time and take small and frequent meals. For now eat light , avoid non spicy and heavy food , drink plenty of water and eat fibrous diet . Avoid taking sea food and nuts , take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
