What Could Cause A Burning Throat After An Angiogram And Angioplasty?
My dad (79, 200 lbs+) had an angiogram and angioplasty last week. They inserted 2 stints into the arteries of the heart, after finding 2 70% blockages. 2 days after the procedure he had a terrible burning throat that has been burning still, 4 days later (gradually less). Today he was able to eat more than liquid and soft foods for the first time. (He has had acid reflux in the past, but says this is not acid reflux.) Any ideas what may be causing this???

well sometimes burning throat can be manifestation of atypical angina,but it should have appeared at the time of onset of heart symptoms requiring angiography and plasty,it can be manifestation of acid reflux whcih can be managed with rabeprazole , sometimes in ICU some patient develop sore throat leading to burning in throat again not a serious condition.and as per history he is able to eat on fourth day means he is coming out of any of last two mild conditions.
