Suggest Precautions During Arhythmea In Heart With Nausea
My father in law, aged 76, has recently had his left lung removed because of lung cancer and after the surgery was admitted to hospital where it was diagnosed that he had a arhythmea in his heart. He stayed ten days and was treated with various drugs. The pulse has decreased to about 80 - 90 however he feels nausea and from time to time a feeling of strangulation, which he overcomes taking oxygen despite his blood oxygen levels being 96-97% and his breathing capability despite his lung removal of 47%
Can you advise what he should do?

Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern about your Father-in-law.
I would like to tell you that Arrythmias with Lung removal happens because of surgical damage to cardiac plexus and they can be easily managed with anti-arrhythmic drugs. Nausea is common side effect of many medicines.
It's advisable to start an anti emetic drug and personally consult with a cardiologist to evaluate the type of arrythemia your father has and to get treatment accordingly.
Hopefully this has answered your query.
Kind Regards
Dr Navneet Mahajan
