After stenting, back discomfort and gas are typically unrelated to the stent but may be caused by muscle tension, acidity, or adverse reactions to medications like Storvas. Don't stop taking your cardiac medications; see your doctor or cardiologist for an assessment; you might require painkillers, antacids, or testing to rule out other causes.

Your current medications—Storvas 40 (atorvastatin), Betaloc (metoprolol), Olmaser (amlodipine + olmesartan), and Deplatt (clopidogrel)—can sometimes cause side effects, but back pain and gas are not the most common ones.

  • Back pain: Some people taking atorvastatin (Storvas 40) may experience muscle or joint pain, which can sometimes present as back discomfort. This is a known but relatively uncommon side effect. If the pain is persistent or worsening, it should be evaluated by your doctor.

  • Gas and digestive issues: Medications like olmesartan and amlodipine (components of Olmaser) can occasionally cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, bloating, or stomach discomfort. Deplatt (clopidogrel) may also cause stomach irritation in some cases.

Since you had a stenting procedure recently, it is important to discuss these symptoms with your cardiologist. They can determine whether your symptoms are related to your medications, the procedure, or other causes.

In the meantime:

  • Keep a diary of your symptoms, noting when the back pain and gas occur and any other related factors.
  • Do not stop or change your medications without consulting your doctor, as these are crucial for your heart health.

If your back pain worsens, becomes severe, or you develop additional symptoms such as fever, weakness, or urinary problems, seek medical attention promptly.

Please consult your cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Okay, I understand that you are experiencing back pain and gas issues after stenting.
