Question

I'm really worried about my dadhe's 61 and had some vomiting because of an acidic problem a couple of days ago, and now he's feeling chest tightness. We got his ECG done, and there was some abnormality, plus the echo cardiograph mentioned grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. His blood pressure's normal at 11872. Do you think he needs to start medicines for cholesterol or something to prevent heart failure?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 73 and had angioplasty done at Ruby Hospital in Pune about a year ago, where they put in two stents. Now, we're back to the drawing board with blockages in two of his arteries again, and the doctor is suggesting another angioplasty. I'm really concerned and confused about whether this is the best option for him right now. Could you give me some clarity or advice on what steps we should consider?
