Abdominal bloating can affect the diaphragm, a muscular partition between the chest and abdomen. The diaphragm assists in breathing, which means bloating can lead to shortness of breath. This happens if the pressure in the abdomen is enough to restrict the movement of the diaphragm. Being short of breath can cause you to take small, short breaths. This can lead to swallowing air, which is known as aerophagia. Difficulty breathing can be brought on by anxiety or panic attacks, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and asthma attacks.
Between 10,000 and 100,000 depending on the source. The ancient Greek historian and traveller Herodotus (c.450BC) was told it took 100,000 slaves 20 years to build the Great P â¦ yramid. Modern sources put the number at 10,000. Smaller pyramids built earlier and later must have took less time and fewer people to build.
Franz LÃ¶hner calculates a total number of 6'700 workers, which were necessary to build Khufu's pyramid (including preparation and planning, quarry work, transportation by ship and on land and building the pyramid).
