Is Presence Of Gall Stones Related To Abnormalities In EKG Reading ?
My father is having arm pain, high blood pressure 190 (five days straight), and poor circulation in one foot. He is in the hospital now having a stress test. The found yesterday that he had gallstones but also the EKG readings showed some abnormalities. Could it simply be gallstones or is more likely to be heart related?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Its purely heart related causes cause the EKG changes.
2.GB stones / calculi will only cause pains and obstructive symptoms with vomiting.
3.I would recommend first to treat / control the hypertension and cardiac causes.
4.After that if there are symptoms towards GB stones / calculi, then one can plan for an operation.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
