I've noticed that whenever I do something active, like quickly walking up the stairs, I get out of breath really fast, and my vision kinda goes dark. It's like I have to sit or lie down and breathe deeply for a little while, maybe 5 to 10 minutes, and then things are okay again until I do something physical again. I'm kinda worried about this. What kind of doctor should I see about it, and what could be causing this?

My father has 4 major blocks in his heart 3 are over 70% and one is 30%. I've attached the report for reference. The doctor recommended bypass surgery, but I'm wondering why angioplasty isn't an option here. Can you explain the reasoning behind this?

Is your father a diabetic patient? How is his physical built - thin, average, obese? Otherwise a active person or not?

I'm trying to understand my echo report. It says all chamber sizes are normal, there's no regurgitation, and valve morphology is normal, with normal LV function. But it doesn't mention anything about pulmonary artery pressure. Does this mean my pulmonary pressure is normal? I'm a bit confused and would love some clarity on this.

Normal echo report..
