Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Hello everyone! I cannot believe how much weight has been gaining lately - but it seems to all be in his stomach. His pants are tight and I noticed his shirts look so short.Today he said his stomach feels heavy - like it is going to explode - he feels bloated. He has no pain just the uncomfortable feeling of this? Is this normal? Second, he had a spell today where he was really light-headed and felt dizzy. He laid down right away and it took about 15 minutes for it to pass. He got very hot and white - I checked his temp and he did not have one. It was around 4pm and he ate last at noon. My son(7yrs old) gave him some regular pop (he learned this from Grandma who is a diabetic) to see if that would help him. Once it passed he felt a lot better. I've read in previous posts that these are symptoms BUT I'm getting worried. He has an appt at the end of this week with his Gastro Dr. It's so hard to not think that every little ache or pain is another step closer to him progessing further along. Right now the fatigue is really putting a toll on him but that is pretty much the extent of his symptoms.. He is so active with our 3 boys - he is pushing himself so hard and I wish he would slow down. , OH , husband: Crohns, 88 ; PSC 6/05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Hi I had noticed over the few years before PSC was diagnosed that the area around my rib cage was permanetly bloated, and like with no pain. When I had a ERCP, it seemed my whole body 'deflated' and I could see my ribs (that was exciting stuff!!!!). So I do know that inflated feeling. Sorry I can't be of much help as to the cause, but hope it will be remedied soon Best wishes from the bottom of the world in New Zealand > Hello everyone! > > I cannot believe how much weight has been gaining lately - but > it seems to all be in his stomach.
