I was diagnosed with a DVT and then a few days later they found I had multiple Pulmonary Embolisms.  I have had trouble breathing for a couple of years and it continues to get worse.  Lately I feel very bloated after eating or drinking just a small amount and worsening acid reflux.  An upper GI showed no GERD.  A barium x-ray showed some reflux.  I am currently on Warfarin.  Today I was told that the CT scan also showed a hepatic hemangioma. It is possible that the Hepatic Hemangioma is pressing on my lungs (causing shortness of breath) and on my stomach (causing the fullness and bloating)?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, hepatic hematoma is unlikely to press lung and stomach and cause symptoms. Hepatic hematoma is actually accidental finding in most of the time, and it is asymptomatic. Rarely large hematoma can cause pressure symptoms. So if the size of your hematoma is less than 5 cm than it is unlikely to cause these symptoms. In my opinion, Pulmonary embolism and warfarin are causing all these symptoms. Pulmonary embolism causes restrictive lung disease and this is the likely cause for your shortness of breath. Warfarin is known to cause severe gastritis and bloating. So hematoma is unlikely cause. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
