Question: I have chf an when i bend over to pick up something I get dizzy an have to vomit I get heart burn everytime I eat something
Brief Answer:
You need to repeat cardiac workup and antacids
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.
Based on the basis of brief history you have shared, It can be due to cardiac Syncope, and relation to bending down can be due to differences in intra thoracic pressures on bending down may lead to alteration of blood flow inside the heart or may trigger some underlying arrythmia keeping in view your previous history of CHF. You need to repeat your EKG and echo cardiogram to look for any abnormality in heart rythms or any valve leak or low ejection fraction. You may also be asked for holter monitoring or neurological workup to rule out other causes.
Vomitings can be due to cardiac reason as well as related to heart burn as you have mentioned.
For heart burn, make sure to avoid fizzy drinks, spicy food and greasy diets. Limmit use of alcohol, and try to take small but frequent meals. If problem persists discuss with your GP for use of antacids like omeperazole or pantoprazole before meals along with motility agents like domperidone for better stomach emptying and less heart burn. This will also help you with vomitings.
Hoping you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
