Could Angioplasty Cause Gastric Problem?
hi , i had an angioplasty in june last year. since last 7-8 days i am waking up in the middle of the night with some shivering in the stomach heavy gas problems and some sweat. no pain anywhere. i stopped my metformin medication since yesterday and the shivering has gone but the gas problem still persists. let me know in case there is anything to worry about. my ekg showed rs wave inversion between v1 and v2 yesterday. urine routine tests are normal.

Hi There
I have read the details provided by you and i do understand your concern.
From the symptoms it doesn't look like a cardiac issue. I would like to recommend a PROTON PUMP INHIBITOR (for eg pantoprazole) to be take 20 mins before breakfast for a week. If even after that you didn't got relieved i would suggest you to consult a MD physician. Also do not stop METFORMIN without your doctor advice as your blood sugar levels can go high which can again trouble you.
Good Luck
