HI MY DAD WHO IS 76 YRS OLD RECENTLY GOT A STENT PUT IN, AND SINCE HIS COME BK FROM HOSPITS HE FEELS A WATERY, BLOATED FEELING IN HIS CHEST, AND IT CAUSES LOADS OF PROBLEMS LEADING TO LOW BLOOD PRESSURE, COULD YOU PLZ TELL US WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS AND WHAT CAN CURE IT? THANK U
Hello and thank you for asking in Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. According to your explanation It might be better for your father to do a chest X-Ray to evaluate the lungs if there are any problems with them. If the x Ray is negative then it might be a bloating stomach or intestines with gasses. This can cause an abdominal discomfort which sometimes reflects in the chest area too. He should be careful with foods and to do physical activity if he can. But better to consult his doctor. Wish good health for your father.
