Stomach ache

[colingee]

I'm taking sotalol 80mgs twice a day lisinipril 10 mgs daily rivaroxaban 20 mgs daily 20 mg omeprezole daily and Lipitor 40 mgs daily

My concern is I seem to have developed lower abdominal pain and vague chest ache now and again since taking these drugs has anyone else experienced these issues ?

I doubt if you will get many answers. This is quite a list of drugs and their interaction would be difficult for an expert, let alone people on this forum.

Ask your GP to review your medication.

Hi, OK, the question is who gave this medication and why?

did you go for any heart procedure? blood test? what are the numbers?

It appears your GP or A&E or a cardiologist has given you all these medication for some reason!

Five lots of medication in your stomach and your food intake may be there is a bad reaction, allergic to some medication. you may have to try one at a time and identify which one is giving you problems or the combination of food intake as well.

I was in hospital with some one who had a TAVI procedure and the medication did give problems!!!

Please write down your food intake and reactions and make an appointment to see your GP!

Hi Bala,had mild heart attack June 2013 had stent inserted then placed on bisooprol statins and lisinipril clopidigrel and aspirin in august this year had an urgent admission with Paroxamol AF I was given further angiogram found that the stent was under inflated but no action was taken apart from revising my medication aspirin stopped warfarin started plus stopped bisooprol and put on 80 mgs of sotalol continued with lisinipril and 40mg Lipitor after a 3 month on warfarin it was changed to rivaroxaban as my warfarin levels were never stable my renal, liver and all other blood tests ok but had a raised CK but since reducing the Lipitor from 80mgs to 40mgs the CK level has come down my cholesterol levels were 3.8 blood pressure always around 128/60 pulse always around 50/60

So this where I am I have a healthy diet etc I'm 6'1 and weigh 12st 8lb

Thanks.

You cholesterol is good.

A relation of mine had very bad reaction to combination medication after a TAVI (heart valve) operation!

To cut the story short, investigation found other problems, my relation is getting better.

Please make a not of what you eat and reaction to medication and avoid that food.

GPs are not very clear on medication and food intake reaction. We have to find this out the hard way.

It took me many years to identify food that gives me problems. Cannot eat Jaffa cakes!, combination of marathon bar and orange drink gives me problems!, Milkshake from fast food also gives breathing problems and many more. Moult whisky no problems

I am 68 and 12 st 7 ponds, trying to keep the weight by going to the gym at least three times a day.

Trying to control food intake is very difficult.

I was given station (20mg Lipitor, cholesterol came down to 2.8) and had very bad site effect therefore have stopped taking statin. Only time will tell.

If necessary may be later on I have to go on statin. I am allergic to aspirin!

Good luck.
