What Causes Swelling, Bloating And Shortness Of Breath While Eating?

I take 10 different mediations. I experience swelling, bloating and shortness of breath when eating or drinking foods and liquid. I also take GAS X for swelling. I feel a lump after eating with no pain. I have simple lupus and respiratory problems for which I am being treated for. Maybe I have serious constipation. I was fine a week ago.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Stomach bloating,shortness of breath or swelling could be due to gastritis,dyspepsia,Erophagia,irritable bowel syndrome, food poisoning, peptic ulcer,bowel obstruction, crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

You should undergo certain blood investigations with urine and stool examination for R/M and ova or ultrasound of abdomen or upper GI scopy and chest x-ray.

You should take antibiotics from quinolones group with Antiprotozoual like ornidazole for full course, with other supportive treatment.

Tab.gas X simethicone is a good drug for stomach gas and bloating but the important thing is to diagnose first.

So immediate contact your medical specialist and yes never self medicate.
