    Bloated mid section and very short of breath
    I am 65 yr old woman. I am obease. I have a belly button hernia. It is the size of at least a lg grapefruit. For the last few days I have had major bloating and shortness of breath. I am not having pains.I have been using Gasx which hasn't done much. I can sleep but upon waking I hacked for several minutes bring flem.
    I am not a smoker.
    My one concern is the hernia... I can't feel it, not sure if the bloating is hiding it or just what. Or if it is leaking.
    I prefer to wait until. My son gets here in the morning. But will do what is thought best.
    I live in Wayne County Michigan.

    Any kind of breathing problem is serious, especially if you are usually alone. Get checked out by a physician as soon as humanly possible.
