Terrible stomach cramps on heart medication

[MSMSMS]

Hi everyone, my husband had a heart attack six weeks ago, he was treated very quickly and had two stents put in. He’s been taking his medication and all seemed to be fine, but last weekend and this, he’s had terrible stomach cramps that have lasted around 12 hours. He’s been throwing up too. They cramps were so bad that we initially thought he was having another heart attack! He’s been checked and it’s definitely not his heart, so we think it must be his medication.

He’s taking Atorvastin 80mg, Bisoprolol Fumarate 2.5mg, Ramopril 2.5mg (twice a day), Omeprazole 20mg, Brilique Ticagrelor 90mg (twice a day) and aspirin 75mg. (Sorry, long list!!)

Anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone here has had stomach cramps due to any of these medications? All advice gratefully received!

I also had ha around 8 weeks ago I had balloon stent put in and was started on Ticagrelor and aspirin had to go back in 5 days after ha and again last week both times terrible stomach cramps under rib cage also had awful non productive cough and breathlessness . Had another angio all clear working well but they changed me from Ticagrelor to clopidogril cough and breathless gone and so far no cramp . Hope your husband soon sorted

Oh thanks! That’s really good to know, I’ll tell my husband. He went to the GP but she was pretty useless

If he is on asprin make sure it's the Gastro aspirin. Not soluble. That was the cause of my problems with the stomach. Terrible indegestion and stomach cramps. Also Bisoprolol is not good either.
