Stent fitted

[Paulndm]

Hi,

Had a stent fitted 3 weeks ago after a heart attack playing golf, 1 stent fitted, just a couple of questions.

1 does anyone else get upset stomach most of the day, sure it’s the tablets but not sure.

2 upset stomach seems to cause, or at least think they are palpitations

Does anyone else get this,

P.s really looking forward to getting back into golf, walking a bit more now, but resting a lot because of upset stomach

Sometimes if you are taking bog standard medication after stents you can get stomach upset. Typically medication is offered to desl with this

I do, I had a HA in June and had a couple of stents fitted, I've had stomach upsets and indigestion since, some days worse than others.My GP upped the dose of my Omeprazole to try and help, it only made a slight difference.

Last week he took me off Omeprazole and put me on Lansoprazole, thats made a big difference.

I'm seeing the cardiologist again in October, all being well he may alter my drug regime then as it's obvious that the "cocktail" I'm on is causing the issue.
