I'm really concerned about my dad, who needs to get an angiography. He's got high blood pressure and diabetes, and he's already really anxious about the test. I'm worried about how painful the procedure might be for him, and if getting scared during the test could lead to any serious issues given his BP condition. Any advice?

Hey, I was diagnosed with mild mitral valve regurgitation prolapse back in 2010 and took medication for a couple of years. I had a follow-up in 2014 and was told everything was fine and there was nothing to worry about moving forward. Should I still be going for consultations, or is it fine if I don't? Just thinking about whether I need to keep up with any checks or if it's okay not to.

I'm a 23-year-old and have been dealing with a cough and haemoptysis for the last six years. They found a cavity in the right upper lobe of my lung, and the doctor said it's not repairable and recommended I see a specialist in CTVS. Could you help me understand what this means and what I should expect? I'm feeling quite worried about the situation.

My doctor said I have Sev MR Mod MS and Mild AR and need DVR surgery within 3 months. Can you recommend some good but affordable hospitals for this? Any city is fine, just need quality care without breaking the bank.

For DVR surgery, affordable options can be found in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore. Some reputable but reasonably priced hospitals include AIIMS (Delhi) and KEM Hospital (Mumbai), but costs may vary.
