What Could Be Causing Nausea and Chest Discomfort After Ischemic Stroke in a 71 Year Old?

Patient's Query

Your dad, who is 71 years old, experienced an ischemic stroke 14 days ago. As a result, he lost sensation on his right side and has some speech difficulties. He is currently taking medication for his condition. After the stroke, he experienced nausea and chest discomfort. Although he underwent cardiac tests, all the results came back normal. The cause of his chest discomfort and burning sensation is unclear at this point. I would like to know what may be the causes and whats the next step to take.

Heart

Answered by Dr. Bhaskar Semitha

The causes of your father’s chest pain and burning sensations include acid reflux, anxiety or medication side effect. But considering his past medical history of ischemic stroke and age, a cardiac cause must be excluded. I suggest a cardiologist referral for further evaluation and treatment. He should continue with the medication used to treat his stroke and have regular visits from a health care provider.

My eyes goes red and heart beat go fast after drinking

Male | 31

If you drink and your eyes turn red or your heart starts beating fast, it could mean that you are allergic to alcohol. This happens when your body cannot process alcohol properly. To help yourself feel better, try reducing your intake or not drinking at all. Also, drink a lot of water and get enough sleep so that your organism can recover.
