What Could Cause Burbling And Headache?

my husband has been excessively burbing, has a bad headache and complains about pain in his legs, he has had a heart attack in the past and recently quit taking all his medications, do you think his symptoms are heart related or am I worrying needlessly?

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I read your question carefully and understand your concern.

His symptoms don't seem to be cardiac related. But I recommend consulting with his attending physician for a careful examination, a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound, to examine better his cardiac function (based on the fact that he has suffered a heart attack in the past and has stopped taking all the medications).

I also recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy (for his excessive burping, which may be related to a stomach disorder), and a routine blood test, Doppler ultrasound of the leg and neck vessels, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes.

I would also advise to closely monitor his blood pressure. Headaches are often caused by uncontrolled high blood pressure.

Hope to have been of help!

Greetings! Dr. Iliri
