What Causes Stomach Pain, Loose Motion And Vomiting?
Hi my cousin had stomach ache followed by two loos motion and one vomit in the doctor is recommending for ECG and he has already give all medicine for stomach infection and he is feeling better now. Do we need to get ECG done - I just want to double sure. It s urgent as I have refused for ECG n about to take him home in half an hour. Regards
Hello dear, I really appreciate your concern. Your doctor is suspecting heart disease in your cousin. Sometimes heart disease is associated with acute stomach pain and vomiting. So he wants to rule out heart disease. There is nothing wrong to have ECG done. Your cousin would be sure that he is not having heart disease and stomach pain was only due to some gastric problem only. So if your cousin is having risk factor for heart disease like old age, overweight, smoking, abnormal lipid profile, family history of heart disease then I advise him to get ECG done. Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care. Thank you.
