I have been suffering for the last few days from pains in my sides at waist level I also feel bloated and at first thought it was gas or acid indigestion, but anti acids are making no difference. I found a painkiller eased the pain for a short time but soon wore off. Another person with a query like this was told her husband could have congestive heart disease. I have suffered from a certain amount of breathlesness, but as I am a little overweight I thought that was the reason.

You need to see a Physician - this is nothing to be diagnosed over the Internet. My late husband had congestive heart disease and often complained that he felt "bloated." He WAS breathless.

Don't fool around. Go to a Doctor!
