How To Get Rid Of Gas Problem Causing Chest Pain After Undergoing Angioplasty?
Hello sir,
My father age 55,last month undergone angioplasty.
This was the first time he felt any chest pain, and reports shown 70% blockage in one artery.
before angioplasty he use to smoke a lot but now he not smoking since then.
From last two weeks he is facing lot of gas problem, which causes chest pain also.
What can be the reason for having gas troubles? and how to get rid of this?
Thank you

The gas problem of your father might be due to the medicines given after angioplasty or may be due to reduced physical activity or change of diet.It may also be due to gastro oesophageal reflex disease, or functional dyspepsia or psychological stress.Your father should avoid fatty foods and alcoho l .He also needs reassurance.Further, drugs such as pantoprazole given for 4-8 weeks may be also may give good relief.
