Abdominal Bloating
People who get appendicitis may not experience bloating, although this condition is a secondary symptom of people with excessive stomach gas. Some people think they have too much to eat; thus, they feel full. However, abdominal bloating gives a feeling of fullness even if the person did not overeat.
While bloating is typically an issue with the digestive system, it could also be due to stress and hormones. However, the doctor may consider bloating a symptom of another medical condition.
Bloating occurs when gas or air fills the gastrointestinal tract (GI). The people who had bloating described their abdomen feeling swollen, tight, and full. The stomach may also be painful and hard. Often, abdominal bloating comes with pain, excessive gas, frequent belching/burping, and abdominal gurgles or rumblings.
Although it is customary to swallow a small amount of air while drinking or eating, some people take in more air because they eat or drink too fast, wear loose dentures, and smoke or chew gum.
However, it could be due to heartburn, irritable bowel movement, and severe diseases, including celiac disease, congestive heart failure, ovarian cancer, pancreatic insufficiency, kidney failure, or liver disease.
