My father is not eating properly after getting stents. Why?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I have reviewed the provided data (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Based on the medications prescribed, it seems that the patient underwent angiography and had stents placed in the heart, rather than an endoscopy. The decreased eating is unlikely to be related to the stents. However, since the patient is diabetic, it is important to monitor their blood sugar levels, as very high sugars can lead to decreased appetite. The prescribed medication, Aspirin, may cause gastritis, so it is recommended to give Tablet Nexpro 40 mg (Esomeprazole) once daily in the morning before food to prevent gastric irritation. Please continue all the prescribed medications and administer Syrup Bayer's tonic, 30 mL twice a day. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss the treatment plan with them, and obtain their consent before initiating any changes. If the problem persists, it is advisable to consult the nearest physician for a detailed examination and history. Considering the recent stent placement, an upper GI endoscopy may be risky at this time, and further assessment may be required.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. 

• Syrup Bayers tonic is an appetizer, there is no sugar free in that category, so let him use that. It will not be a big problem.

• Gas and digestion problem will be improved with Nexpro. Kindly review after five days of using these drugs. If not improved, then I will suggest some other drugs.

• Try to avoid spicy foods.
