tummy larger on one side

[dan1983]

I am a 37 y male and overweight. My stomach is larger on the left only when I lay down. Went to my gp today, couldn't feel anything obvious, doesn't think its a hernia, but is sending me for an ultrasound. My anxiety is through the roof. Has anyone had anything similar? Thanks in advance

Could be gas or a full stomach.

You have youth on your side. Doubt it's anything to worry about. Come back and let us know how your ultrasound turns out.... will be thinking of you,. nothing worse than worrying about things pertaining to health.

Gastritis can feel like that or gas. Gastritis is easily cured by eating the right foods. Gastritis is can be caused by anxiety or not eating well.
