Shortness of breath, Stomach Bloating

2020-05-03 04:36:53
I have constant shortness of breath. I am having small meals however after every meal there is uncomfortable heaviness and bloating in the stomach. I have got an ECG, TMT, Pulmonary test, including all blood work and an ultrasound of the abdomen - all results are clear. Could my symptoms be a cause of a groin hernia?

The symptom Complex that you are describing along with the the negative test results of the Labs suggest that you might be suffering from a gastric outlet obstruction. You need to Get a Contrast Enhanced CT scan of the Abdomen and an upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination of the stomach and duodenum to look for any suspicious Pathology. If CECT isnt available  at least a saline load test should be performed
Next Steps
please consult a General Surgeon in your vicinity
Health Tips
please consume liquid or at the most semisolid foods which digest easily .

Have you noticed any swelling or pain in your groin region? Your symptoms as you have mentioned them are unlikely to be because of a groin hernia. You may be suffering from Acid peptic disease (sometimes referred to as acidity or gas or ulcer). An upper Gastrointestinal endoscopy would be the best test to confirm or rule out this. Until then, regular meals (avoid longer than 3 hours interval between meals in daytime) and avoiding spice / alcohol /smoking may help to a certain extent
Next Steps
Upper GI endoscopy
