Hi,
The root cause of GI distress with inappropriate motility has to be evaluated along with cardiac condition to treat in accordance.
Primary working tips here would be
- regular walking, keep ambulatory
- avoid bedridden condition (after discussing with the cardiologist)
- plenty of liquids
- high fiber diet with bulk-forming laxatives as per the guidelines by a physician
- discuss the side effect of any cardiac medicine or blood thinner responsible for such issue.
Be in regular follow up with your consultant on scheduled appointments.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
