What Does Tight Sensation Across The Waist Indicate?

I have had a tightening across the waistline for the past two days almost as if there is constricting of my waist. There is also lower abdominal discomfort in the center beneath the belly button. It becomes worse when I eat and I have a loss of appetite. What can I do to alleviate this constricting pressure?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The constriction that you are experiencing may be due to bloating. This commonly causes a tight sensation/constriction in the abdomen. It can be related to different possible causes such as- constipation, GERD, side effect of medication or related to foods used. Foods that cause bloating include broccoli, cabbage, turnips, brussel sprouts, prunes, beans, cauliflower.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
