Mona,
I thought my breathing issues were from my heart, then in my last CT scan it showed there were areas of the lung that were collapsed. I’m not sure what caused it. A CT scan may help you see what’s going on. My Oncologist ordered the CT and saw a Pulmonologist to give me the diagnosis.

I do have stomach issues but I feel it worse when I'm constipated. I try to walk and that moves most things around in my belly and wearing a sweat band also.
