Stomach Bloating
Cardiomegaly may cause stomach bloating. People generally describe bloating as a full, tight or swollen sensation in the stomach. It's sometimes associated with mild to sharp abdominal pain. The stomach may also become hard and visibly distended.
Bloating occurs when air or gas builds up in the gastrointestinal tract because it can't pass through belching or flatulence. Severe bloating can lead to discomfort or embarrassment and may interfere with daily life.5’Practical Tips to Reduce Bloating, Belching and Gas.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 13 Feb. 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gas-and-gas-pains/in-depth/gas-and-gas-pains/art-20044739
