My dad is 62 and has been having some real trouble with his breathing. After seeing a doctor, the breathing got a bit better, but he's still coughing a lot. A month later, something strange happenedhe was in bed and suddenly gas was coming out of his mouth, and he had chest pain at the same time. After using the toilet, he felt a little better. Now he's in a hospital in Siliguri, and the doctors there say his heart is a bit weak. I'm thinking about consulting with doctors in South India, but I'm a bit lost on where to go. I heard CMC Vellore has long wait times, and Apollo Chennai is a bit too pricey for us. Can you help suggest the best hospital and doctor in the south for his situation?

My mom just turned 49 and she was recently diagnosed with aortic sclerosis and AR AT. Her blood pressure's been super high at 190100, even with medication. I'm really worried. Is this something that can be cured, and what steps should we take to prevent heart failure?

My dad had bypass surgery back in 2000 and has been on meds since then. He's 60 now and after a recent health check, the doctor said his heart is working at 30% and recommended an angio. What exactly happens during an angio and what should we do next to improve his health?
An angio (angiography) is a procedure using X-rays to visualize blood vessels and identify blockages or narrowing. To improve his health, your dad should focus on a heart-healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and quitting smoking if he smokes. He should also continue taking his prescribed medications as directed.
