My Dad Has Stomach Pains And I Am Scared

My dad has stomach pains and I am scared

I don’t see anywhere this is after effect of surgery, let alone heart surgery

only reason I can think is that dad took coated baby aspirin without food

I pray it is nothing serious

heart is okay so far

I’m hoping to have television with née orimary Care Dr.

our old primary care Dr was so close but she moved away

just now I woke up to use bathroom and I asked my dad how he was …he had poor sleep


I what are possible reasons for stomach pain
How can we help Das feel better

I am just praying right now

how can anyone bare so much

He was already taking Aleve painkiller. Cardiology saud switch to Tylenol as Aleve is nit good for long term


And he is taking Tylenol with food

 

I just spoke to Dad who didn’t nit get any sleep at all

He is taking 500mg Tylenol every 8 hours for past three days with food

but it is not sold I’d food, it is milk

is it possible that he needs to take solid food with Tylenol 500 mg

also he lost his appetite and says he hates milk. I told h8m that loss of appetite is normal and it shall return

so he will have Tylenol with solid food

plus he will have Tylenol ever 12 he instead of every 8 hours

and he has no steprenght to push for bowel movements. His bowels are soft, but if they are not coming out, then where are they?

I just left message fir primary care physician office, hope she sees patients via telemedicine on Saturdays (I remember her staff says she comes alt Saturday)

 

Now my Dad’s stomach pain is mulch less but now he’s getting painful upper back and chest again

seems like a see-saw

plans to take Tylenol ever 10 hrs for one day, the next day every 12 hours

this stuff is scary!

 

My Dad is horrified of the ER. Esp after being stuck with needles. Just horrified

As the effects of the Tylenol was wearing out the stomach ache got less but the chest and upper back pain started to emerge

and when we call the Heart Monitoring company they say Dad’s heart readings are normal

i wish I can even take my dad to an urgent care center just so MDs can do basic checks and advise him. Not stick him with needles, IVs, etc, but ask some simple questions

He tries to walk here and there but even getting a car ride is so difficult

Will talk to Dad again

 

Thank you so much @swarnamary and @Viswamitra and @MalStrom

I spoke with Dad. He is reclining on bed watching TV

I asked how he feels now

If stomach ache was 100 this morning, now it is 20

Upper back pain is no longer there, but he feels slight pain in chest, but barely

As for bowel movement he is having less (than his very little movement even before the procedure)

Im trying to see if urgent care has telehealrh visits… at least medical professional can guide Dad while he is on the bed

 

It seems my Dad was taking too much Tylenol, 1 every 8 hours.

when he skipped his 8 hour mark the stomach pain went down drastically but the upper back and chest pain started to come. Right now those pains went away.

my Dad is going to try Tylenol every 10 hours and then 12 hours to find right balance bet pain Managment and managing his constipation. He says his stools are super soft but he doesn’t have strength to push the way he due before the heart procedure.

hope I can get him to urgent care at least
