Question 3

why do i have shortness of breath a day after vomiting?

Accepted Answer

: You may have strained your diaphragm or chest wall muscles.

Question 4

i have a blocked chest, vomit if i eat food after i have being hungry for long i also have a shortness of breath?

Accepted Answer

Until you : Get seen, i would try a potent stomach acid reducer, like omeprazole! stay on it.  The shortness of breath is difficult to tie to the nausea but may be anxiety, asthma, and this may be fitting in with "blocked chest". The vomiting seems seperate, do the acid reducer, ranitidine is cheaper, use every day, get in to see doc, u have respiratory problems too it sounds.  Good luck.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Ascites: Yes. Anything that causes increased pressure inside of the blood vessels of the abdominal cavity called the peritoneum or irritation to the membrane  can cause fluid to leak out and accumulate. Liver disease such as cirrhosis, obstruction of the veins going into the liver, cancer, heart failure, kidney disease, diseases of the pancreas, ovarian cancer, infections are causes.  See your doctor ASAP.

Question 8

is there something serious wrong? what might be wrong with a male (34) who works too hard and drinks too much. he is vomiting blood, having trouble eating due to pain,  has shortness of breath and headaches very regularly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. : Yes. There is something seriously wrong.  He is heavy drinker who is vomiting blood and has difficulty breathing. He needs to medically evaluated asap. He also needs to stop drinking alcohol if he vomits blood. This is a recipe for disaster.

Question 9

im experiencing shortness of breath fatigue and coughing which produces phlegm, high temperatures and occasional vomiting and diarrhoea. ?

Accepted Answer

Exam  needed: These symptoms warrant an examination and treatment by a physician. High fever and breathing difficulties are worrisome signs of a serious infection like pneumonia or asthmatic bronchitis. In addition you are in danger of becoming dehydrated. I recommend going to the hospital emergency room where prompt evaluation and treatment can be obtained.
