Question: my mother is a heart patient with a stent and is regularly on blood thinner and other medication. today her blood pressure is 121/72 and she is also experiencing tightness in chest and shortness of breath. she’s also been feeling gassy from a few days. can someone suggest what to do?
Brief Answer:
As discussed over doctor call
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As discussed over the doctor call last night, i would suggest her to avoid the cucumber drink and wait and see for improvement. If not, it is best to get an ecg and blood test for cardiac enzymes.
I hope this is helpful.
Please feel free to get back with any queriers further.
Thank you.
Regards.
