Brief Answer:
It may be hyperacidity due to medicines

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am Dr.Rajesh Teli, MD. I have gone through your query. Thanks for using HCM.

Mostly your father has Hyperacidity because medication (Mostly Ceruvin F). However these medicines are inevitably important as he has a stent in his artery.

So you have been rightly prescribed Pan D to balance hyperacidity. However I would like to know -

what were his symptoms of heart disease before angioplasty ?
what were the symptoms which led to diagnosis of Ischaemic heart disease ?

If he get recurrent pain then you should also consider investigations for any abdominal conditions like stone etc. for this you should get ultra sound of abdomen.
Mean while he may take Tab. Meftal spas as per need..

My best wishes
Dr.Teli.

When he followed the prevoius tablets of deplatt and ecosrpin there was no major stomach pain but now when he started CERUVIN AF 75+150MG he was feeling more stomach pain.Is it due to the change in tabs.Is there any thing to worry

Brief Answer:
It may be due to combination

Detailed Answer:
hello,
It may be due to combination not well tolerated by stomach.You can certainly go back to split dose i.e. Ecosprin 150 in afternoon and Deplatt 75 at night.However you should inform your treating doctor.By changing to this mode of administration there will not be any issue as far as post stanting medications are concerned.Having done this if his symptoms are controlled it is fine...or you should conside for evaluation for other cause
My best wishes
