What Causes Bloating And Swelling In The Upper Abdominal Area?

I have been feeling lethargic and having a bloated feeling in my stomach with loss of appetite. I have had bouts of acid reflux in previous years and started a 14 day regimen of Prilosec this morning. Should I be concerned about the bloating and visual swelling in my upper stomach area?
