Swollen/bloated Belly Posted: 06-23-05 14:40pm
I am currently experiencing a
swollen/bloated belly and a full feeling.
I have been feeling this way for almost
two weeks. I also feel as if something is
in my throat and chest, and when I sing I
can not hold my notes as long. I give
out of breath when I sing and that is
unusual. I am having some lupus activity
and have been since my last doctor visit
last month.
Has anyone had the same symptoms? I
stopped the predisome two months ago but I
am on plaqunil. I know that it is not
gas build up and especially for this long
with the way my belly just expanded. I
plan to visit my doctor at the end of this
month but I just wanted to put some
feelers out there to see what it could be.
I searched the web and it seems that I
might have the issue with sack around the
heart swelling but I don't totally have
all of the painful symptoms that they
list. I think I might also have the
vascilitis issue (had blood clots twice
and now varicose veins and a large dark
mark has formed on the front of my shin
which I figure might be a leg ulcer).
