Exam needed: Abdominal discomfort associated with abdominal distension is very worrisome and could be due to intestinal obstruction, enlarged intraabdominal organ like liver or spleen, or accumulation of fluid within the abdominal cavity seen with cirrhosis of the liver or pancreatic cancer. Your uncle must be evaluated by a physician and appropriate tests will be ordered.

Needs to be seen!: Stomach pain and shortness of breath, especially for two months are very concerning. As you know, since you are concerned, too! Please tell him to go to the doctor. If money is an issue, he can start at the health department, or check out this page: https://www.sjffcc.org/become-a-patient.html or this page https://freeclinicdirectory.org/california_care/santa_clara_ca_county.html Good luck!
