Hello @karla987 and welcome to Mayo Connect.

I'm so glad to hear that you will be meeting with a Mayo specialist in Arizona. Had you been having other symptoms prior to the trip to the emergency room?

Yes actually for several years I had a very full abdomen, a large hernia and this was all ascites due to my liver because of a blood clot but my doctor kept telling me it was nothing to worry about and the surgeon I saw said the ascites was good for the hernia. I could never figure out what was going on and why I was so short of breath. Thank goodness for the doctors at the hospital.
