My stomach is so SWollen and bloated it's awful and really scaring me. I feel full all the time. I have an underactive thyroid which is stable, also have ibs and reflux. I'm so scared I have a tumour or cancer or something! Things I've had done within the year.. Colonoscopy, endoscopy, full blood count, pelvic scan.

Hi Lele :)
It seems like you have had enough tests to rule out anything serious. I have reflux and sometimes feel bloated. I also have IBS which makes me feel bloated too.
Could it be something you're eating?

Not really sure. I don't eat huge amounts of carbs etc

Hey lelespears
I have IBS and get that bloated thing all the time. My wife just says I've got a fat gut :blush: but I know some of it is the bloating that goes with IBS. I suppose it's trapped wind and can get quite painful too. Incidently I've had this on and off for years, annoying but not serious.:ohmy:

I just feel so bloated and like I can't get a proper breath...
If you mean your breathing is shallow, that's a common symptom due to anxiety, I've had that too. Sorry you're not doing so good at the moment, it will pass and if it re-occurs you'll know it's not too serious and will pass again:)

You can get bloated from what they call "air swallowing" as well
