What Causes Abdominal Distention And Appetite Loss?
Greetings, My 74 yr old dad has a bloated/distended hard stomach. Loss of appetite. He has many health problems. Heart disease, had 12 inches of large colon removed, SOB, hands purple in color, due to SOB. Much of his heart is damaged & not working. Concerned about the bloating. Tried to get into doctors today no luck. Trying again tomorrow morning. If unable to get into the doctors should we seek an emergency room or urgent care?
