Over the past several weeks I have had several problems. My stomach is bloated and big. If I push on the lower left side of my abdomen it is tough and feels like there is a ball there; it hurts substantially when pressed. The opposite side of the abdomen is not  tough. The pain is a 7 out of 10. I also have a very hard time breathing sometimes. I feel like I have lost my breath real fast and I gasp for air.
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. You need an urgent medical help according to your symptoms.2. If there is any underlying problem like Gall stones, renal stones, intestinal causes does give symptoms like a mass feeling on the side, due to muscle stiffness at that side.3.In your case I would recommend an ultrasound abdomen pelvis, which will rule out all the above causes, at the same time about the ball which you are feeling inside can also rule out.4. Suggest to see you GP he will examine and indicate the needful investigations. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
