My dad was in the hospital, had an angiography, and they put a stent in his heart. Ever since, his heart rate's been all over the place, and he's been vomiting blood after eating or drinking. What's going on? Is this normal after a procedure like this, or should we be really concerned?

I'm really worried because I started with heart pain, and then the next day, I got this really bad pain in my left upper abdomen. I had an ECG done, and they didn't find anything unusual, and my stomach scan was clear too. But I keep getting these chest pains, mostly at night, and sometimes there's this pain in my shoulder blade that only lasts a few minutes. I'm too scared to tell my parents about all this. Can you tell me what's going on?

based on your symptoms of chest pain, left upper abdominal pain, and shoulder blade pain, along with normal ECG and abdominal scan results, it is important to consider the possibility of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as a potential cause of your symptoms. I recommend taking a proton pump inhibitor such as Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks to see if it helps alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief of chest pain. It is also important to avoid spicy, fatty, and acidic foods, as well as eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help reduce acid reflux symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad's health. Last Friday, he had a major heart failure and after carrying out an angiogram, the doctor found out that there are three blockages in his heart. They also mentioned that his ejection fraction or EF is at 20 which is quite low, and because of that, they can't perform angioplasty or bypass surgery. I'm really unsure about what steps we can take to improve his condition. Could you guide me on how to help him get better or what options we might have?

With a low ejection fraction (EF) of 20% and multiple blockages in the heart, the main goal of treatment would be to improve his heart function and manage his symptoms. Medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, and diuretics can help improve heart function and reduce the workload on the heart. In addition, medications like statins can help manage cholesterol levels and prevent further blockages. It's important for your father to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol intake. Regular monitoring by his healthcare team is crucial to adjust his treatment as needed.
