Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Prolonged Bloating And Low Grade Fever?
I am a 49 year old 6' 165 pound white male in good physical condition with hypertension due to family genetics.For the last few weeks I have been having bloating of my stomach with no excess gas and know for the last 2 days I am getting low grade fevers in excess but not above 102.I am having regular bowel movements and I am not sure whats going on.Should I be concerned?
Hi I did review your concern. I believe your condition can be due to nonulcer dyspepsia or bloating and it can cause such problems. The cause is many times obscure and treatment is nonspecific in form of domperidone or metoclopramide as prokinetic agents and omeprazole to decrease gastic acidity.
However, at the same time I would advice you to consult a gastoenterologist and get evaluated. A routine screening endoscopy and a stool test may also be done to rule out any pathology inside the upper bowel area.
I hope this helps. Wish you all the best. Thank your for using healthcaremagic.
