What Ate The Possible Treatments For Improvising Over The Side Effects Of PT?
Pt had open heart 20 days ago for mitral valve replacement and pfo closure. Pt had hx CHF as well. Pt has had chronic nausea, vomiting of bile, white foam, dizziness and no Bm for 1 wk. All this is preventing her from physical healing and resulting in weakness, weight loss. Suggestions?
The root cause of GI distress with inappropriate motility has to be evaluated along with cardiac condition to treat in accordance.
Primary working tips here would be
- regular walking, keep ambulatory
- avoid bedridden condition (after discussing with the cardiologist)
- plenty of liquids
- high fiber diet with bulk-forming laxatives as per the guidelines by a physician
- discuss the side effect of any cardiac medicine or blood thinner responsible for such issue.
Be in regular follow up with your consultant on scheduled appointments.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
