Ascites which is a fluid buildup in a person abdomen causes symptoms such as sudden weight gain, a distended (swollen) abdomen, difficulty breathing when lying down, diminished appetite, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea vomiting and heartburn.

A low-sodium diet and bed rest are helpful home remedies for treating and managing Ascites.

Surgery can also be performed to help reroute your blood flow (portosystemic shunting) or even getting a liver transplant can help fix Ascites.
