He burps a lot and his upper abdomen pains a lot and it bulges out after eating. Doc adviced ro do endoscopy which did not rule out any main reason it said hernia in the food pipe and doc said that is very minor and does not require any specific treatmeant.
Since he has lot of pain in the upper abdomen whcih offen radiates back at the center and he keeps complaining of the pain and acidity a lot doc adviced for CT contrast.

We visited another doctor and he prescribed two tableta cintodac capsule and tablet revotril which i saw on internet is for seizzeers or nervous system and its an anti depressent.
Currently my dad is facing lot of chest heaviness and headache and lot of anxiety he use to take tablet revotril for 15 days now from 5 days he has stopped. Today we went in emergency to check his ecg and did cardiac profile blood test which said normal.
But his pulse rate is high. Usually after heart attack his bp is always 110 and 70 types but today his pulse rate went to 90 and he is feeing lot if chest heaviness .

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your fathers health and I would like to tell you that as his ECG and cardiac enzyme reports were normal so there is nothing to worry for from cardiac aspect.
From the symptoms detailed by you it’s clearly his anxiety and stress which is creating trouble for him. I would like to suggest you to make him start doing yoga or meditation or take him to some good yoga centre as that a very good stress buster, if that also doesn’t work out then help of a psychologist should be sought in order to combat his anxiety levels.
For now you can take any of the three medications which has been prescribed by your treating doctor as all are relatively safe when taken in a prescribed manner.
I hope this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap

But we are worried as this has not happnd like post the heart surgery it was an acute mi and high emergency he has been put an stent. Doc had told us it s not a normal angioplasty but its by gods grace that we could save him as 80% of his heart has been damaged.
But its been 11 months he has not faced any chest heaviness soo we are worried why it is so.... he has taken trympoter 5mg today
As he was taking revitroil for 15 days and he stopped suddenly can it be due to the same.
Also why his pulse rate has suddenly increased

Hello again
Detailed Answer:
Too much or stress and anxiety are known to cause symptoms similar to that of heart attack.
All these medications are kind of anti depressants and they should not be stopped abruptly without consulting your treating doctor as it can lead to panic episodes.
Although the pulse rate of 90 is well within normal limits for adults but yes again any sort of stress increases our heart rate easily.
