What Causes Bloating With Pain In Chest While Deep Breathing?

I have arrhythmia (sp?) of the heart - have not had any symptons previously but now am very short of breath, regardless of exercise or not. especially when climbing stairs but also on short walk to house from car - also feel bloated & if I take a deep breath, my chest & stomach hurt.

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com. Sorry about the fatigue. You are describing symptoms that I would expect in someone with heart failure/transient when the heart has an arrhythmia and it is not able to effectively deliver blood to the heart, muscles, gut, lungs and you find that they get very short of breath. For starters I would investigate this heart arrhythmia and get on medication for it. And depending on your age, gender and other medical illnesses the treatment will vary. I hope this helps, the bloating is also because you get lack of vascular blood flow and this gives you a woozy feeling in your stomach. The chest pressure or pain or angina is due to lack of oxygen when you demand for it, like taking a deep breath or exerting yourself. I hope that this helps you out, good luck and thank you for your question.
