Detailed Answer:
HI XXXX

Greeting from Dr. Divakara.P
First of all thanks for choosing Healthcaremagic for posting your query.

These are symptoms of Indigestion / Gastric Hypomotility ( Reduced Intensity of movement of Stomach ) and these are common following Angioplasty.

I advise him to get a prescription for a prokinetic drug like Levosulpride and Digestive syrup like Aristozyme and use it .

Also let him eat in small quantity but more frequently. Ask him to eat more of Citrus Fruits and less of Oily and non Veg food .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
