Bloated After Breathing Issues?

A myPHteam Member asked a question 💭
La Verne, CA

Has anyone noticed that when they have trouble breathing their abdomen swells too? After the lung cramp episode on Sunday, I've noticed a fullness or bloated feeling in my stomach. I'm not sure if I'm describing it well, but my stomach is ballooned and taut to the touch

I know , thats what I watch it for, the first time I saw it I said right then I got to watch it, I can not see me asking my Grand daughter to brin me this & bring me that, its a LOL, but not really funny.I try to stay away from depression although sometimes I do feel a little down, I think we all do because of all this Meds and pain and Ins problems, & God knows what else, but we are suvivors we will be fine.

I get this when I start retaining fluid. Some people retain fluid in the abdomen Check your weight daily to see if your weight fluctuates. This may cause shortness of breath. Contact your doctor.

After reading both post, I agree with both of you, I sometimes have that bloating , and I did gain weight after my first diagnosis, I go up and down in weight, I find out if I want to lose, I can not eat anything but am on Prednisone and it make you crave food.I do not want to be on the 600 lb Show
