Can Stents In The Artery Cause Pain In Collar Bone And GERD?

my mom recently had 2 more stents ---she now has 6 in the right coronary artery and 1 in the left for a total of 7. Tonight she is complaining of pain in her collarbone. Yesterday she felt like she had gerd. Are these possible signs of a heart problem. Could there be a problem with a stent? Thanks, Betsy

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, these symptoms are not suggestive of heart problem or connected with problem in Stents.
Pain in collar bone is more likely due to musculoskeletal pain.
GERD is mostly due to stress or drug related gastritis or food related gastritis.
So ask her to avoid stress and tension.
Give her light food, avoid hot and spicy food.
Give her proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs for GERD.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas for collar bone pain. She can take painkiller if pain is more.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
