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'm dealing with pectus excavatum and it's been really bothering me. It's not just that it's affecting how I look, but I'm also noticing it's impacting my muscle tone and I'm having some issues with my pulmonary function.
