What Causes Abdominal Distention Along With COPD And Breathing Difficulty?
My husband has acquired a large extenend stomach over a period of 3 or 4 month, and his weight is 174, normally 165, at 5 foot 8. He has recently been diagnosed with beginning copd, and cant breath when he exerts himself because of his stomach swelling up whenever he does anything. ? Why the exteneded stomach?

What Causes Abdominal Distention Along With COPD And Breathing Difficulty?
Hello, COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) has no association with the extended abdomen and COPD cannot cause stomach distension. He must have distension due to other reasons. Maybe he has developed weight. Avoid sweets and fast fatty foods. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Varinder Joshi
