Experiencing strange feelings in head after quadruple bypass surgery. Any complication?
Answered by
Welcome to XXXXXXX forum,
Is he suffering from breathlessness on lying down/ weakness/cough and chest discomfort along with chest pain?
What is his present blood pressure and pulse rate?
Your brother should consult with XXXXXXX medicine specialist/ cardiologist/ treating doctor immediately and should go for thorough check up.
Presence of heart disease, angioplasty (quadruple bypass) with defined symptoms suggest involvement of brain.
There may be possibilities of decreased blood supply of brain due either to left ventricular failure or due to arrhythmias.
There may also be possibilities of thrombus formation in heart and may lead to formation of emboli, may also cause Transient ischemic attacks.
He should also go for 2 D echocardiography and electrocadiography (ECG) to evaluate ejection fraction & rule out any arrhythmias.
He should also go for holter monitoring of heart to see any arrhythmias in 48-72 hours period.
He should take proper nutrition along with care for better recovery.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if I can address any more concerns.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava

MD I have suddenly noticed a taste of blood in my mouth and now am having stabbing pain in the right side of my head/temple area. I m a little worried because once when I was younger I had the same thing and then developed numbness on one side of my body with vision impairment along with not being able to understand the words that people were saying to me. I was told later that I may have had a mini-stroke. I am 40 years old and have been having a lot of stress lately. I don t want to suddenly have a stroke like my great-grandmother.
MD Very infrequently I get a momentary (no more than a second or two) sudden loss of balance and equilibrium. I do not lose consciousness. If they attached me to a monitor to measure brain waves they may have to wait weeks for it to recur. Is this something i should be worried about? Is it a mini stroke?
