Portal Vein Thrombosis and Abdomen Pain
Father has history of Hypertension, mild CKD (creatinine of 2 mg/dl).
He was diagoned with PVT and was admitted in Apollo for 20 days where they monitored him and controlled his diet. He had severe pain in the entire abdomen and bloating while taking food, so doctors gave rest to intestine saying it is bowel ischemia. Started with liquid diet, semi solid diet, however every 7 days the pain returned. He also vomitted bile (dark green), but no blood vomit or no bloody stool still.
Doctors say it is because of poor blood supply to intestines, it is not able to digest food properly.
He also tested JAK2, MPN positive and have started HYDREA medicine.
Medicines going on - Anticoagulants, HYDREA, BP. Doctors say medical management is the best way and we have to wait for thrombosis to clear.
He has lost lot of weight and abdomen pain continues even with medicines on. Please advise if treatment is right.

Slow passing of food
I have Gerd on and off for the past few years. For the past 10days , there is acidity and reflux. When I have my meal, after a few bites that are fine, I can feel a dull pain in the middle of my chest and slowness, seconds after I swallow my food. Food feels like stop and go. My mouth and the throat and food pipe region feels very dry. I have been under ppi medication and my acidity is getting better. But this swallowing problem is bit concerning to me. Should I worry? I have a normal appetite.
