My mom (62 yr old) is 3 weeks post cabg surgery. She is still experiencing nausea and vomiting as soon as she stops the Zofran. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to do? Is this normal? What could be the cause? She is on all the usual medicine plus she s diabetic. She has been taking Nexium, which I thought would help, but doesn t seem to be controlling the nausea and vomiting bile. Thanks...
Dear patient your patient is diabetic and underwent CABG recently.in this condition 2 or 3 possible causes would be 1-local git cause stress ulcer or small intestine disease like obstruction because of prolong immobilization.2 diabetic ketoacidosis.it is common after stressful condition like surgery, infection etc., so please check blood sugar and urine ketone and consult your physician.
