Hello Dr. I have had gastric bypass 7 years ago. Recently I have experienced watery stools, muscle aches every where, fatigue, heart feels like it is racing and jumping out of my chest. I have been experiencing muscle cramps in my feet, hands and legs. At times the musclkes feel like they are jumping inside?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with diarrhoea muscle cramps fatigue and heart palpitations following a previous gastric bypass surgery i will suggest you have developed a chronic anaemia with possible hypocalcemia (low calcium level)
In view of this please do the following test
Complete blood count
Serum calcium level
Please take the following pending the outcome of the result
Tablet hematinics
Tablet multivitamin
Calcium supplements
I hope this helps Regards
