Hello MADAM.
Don't be desperate .
Let me explain you that PCOD (Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease ) is a totally different thing and nothing to do with bloating abdomen.
First of all I want to explain that bloating may be due to Peptic ulcer disease or Hiatus hernia .Diagnosis can be confirmed by upper G I endoscopy. Try raising the head of your bed 4 inches with blocks . It also might help to avoid drinking or eating 2 hours before you lie down . To control stomach acid one should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them or eat chocolates or spicy or greasy foods . Also take some antacid but if bloating is very sever then you may need drugs like pantaloc- D once or twice in day on empty stomach .
2nd reason of such bloating may be over eating so please avoid overeating.
3rd reason of such sever bloating may be indigestion so when such patient visit I advise them to take some digestive enzyme syrup .
For PCOD you can consult a gynecologist .
Hope this information will help you.
Good luck.
