Question: I have had a hidascan, ct scan ,a mri a upper gi and a colonoscope, nothing has showed up, I am swollen like Iam 9 months pregnant, so uncomfortable, This all started after I had 2 stints put in my heart in july of last year. Any suggestions
Brief Answer:
Your body swelling probably is due to cardiac dysfunction
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am
After going through the medical details provided by you I would try to answer to your query in detail.
As you have told that you have already underwent Angioplasty last year which means you have had a coronary artery disease ( CAD). Now patients with CAD sometimes develop cardiac dysfunction after sometime. In your case your body swelling is probably a part of on going Heart failure. So I would like to advise you to get an ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY done to see the status of your cardiac function.
It's also advisable that you should personally consult a cardiologist as you may need to undergo a check Angiography to see the status of the stents deployed in your heart and also the medicines need to be adjusted.
I hope I have answered your query in detail. If you have any doubt you can ask me back.
I wish you good health
