The feeling of being bloated is a feeling of fullness or tightness in your abdomen. There may be pain, gas, and belching associated with this. When you palpate your stomach, it might feel hard. The presence of nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and trouble swallowing along with bloating may indicate a digestive disorder and is unlikely to be a one-off incident. A gastroenterologist should be consulted if you frequently feel bloated. A gastrointestinal specialist can treat complex gastrointestinal conditions that may be causing your bloating. The gastroenterologist will find out the underlying cause of bloating since there are many possible causes. A medical history review and questions about your diet, lifestyle, and symptoms will be conducted. There may be a physical exam and some tests ordered by the doctor, such as blood work, ultrasound, X-rays, or CT scans. By performing a physical examination in your doctor's office, your doctor can generally diagnose the cause of your bloating. During the interview, they will ask questions about your symptoms and your doctor will ask if you're prone to occasional bloating or if it's constant. There is usually no need to worry about temporary bloating. You may need to have other tests done if it occurs frequently; a scan of your abdomen may be included in these tests. X-rays or CT scans may be needed to identify the cause of the bloating.
