My wife had a stent placement in her heart 1 week ago and she has had a swollen stomach with some bruising below her bellybutton and on the right side. They went in thru the groin area on the right side. She Is also dizzy espicially when she stands up and has a temp now of 99.5. Is this normal?
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Her symptoms seem to be related to an infection. The fact that she feels dizzy when standing up could be a sign of orthostatic hypotension. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with her doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests: - a resting ECG- a chest X-ray study- an abdominal ultrasound-complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation- kidney and renal function tests. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
