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?

I've been worried because my mom, who had a pacemaker put in about 7-8 years ago due to some heart problems, is dealing with foot pain. I'm considering getting her an electric foot massager to help with that, but I'm concerned because I've heard that people with pacemakers might face issues using such electric equipment. Could using an electric foot massager affect her pacemaker or its battery life? Any advice would be really helpful.
