Question : I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy yesterday. I slept all afternoon and evening, stayed up an hour,went to bed again and slept until 10am. My stomach hurts and feels like I have had surgery on it. I am scheduled for a heart XXXXXXX and balloon placement to open my aortic valve tomorrow. Is this normal or should I have it checked out?

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You had colonoscopy and endoscopy. This is somewhat minor procedure. But still many time some minor problem like abdominal pain occurs. Don't worry about that. You will be ok within short time. Continue with your balloon treatment tomorrow.
