Bloating/Swelling
Does anyone else suffer with chest swelling, tightness, and bloating? Mine progressively gets worse thru the day. My chest feels swollen and my abdomen gets distended.
Hi again, TKemp81 and thanks for this post. I'm hopeful others will chime in with their own personal anecdotes in reply to your question. However, I thought you might find it helpful to look over this article on COPD and symptoms: https://copd.net/symptoms This article is different than the one Lyn provided to you in response to one of your other posts - it provides a slightly different perspective.
You mention the symptoms (chest swelling, tightness and bloating) get progressively worse through the day. How do you get past it? How do you get relief?
Leon (site moderator)I haven't found anything that helps yet. My primary dr is getting a ct and tests done. I've tried gas x thinking maybe its gas. But it didnt help any.
Hi again, TKemp81 and thanks for the reply. Glad to hear you will be following up with your primary physician. Hopefully, the diagnostic testing will result in a diagnosis that can then be treated so you can achieve some relief. In view of your concern with bloating, I thought you might gain some insight from this article on that very topic: https://copd.net/living/bloating-why-what-to-do I do hope you find it to be helpful for you.
