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.

I'm a little worried about using Benadon tablets. Is it safe to take them without any issues?

Can Benadon help strengthen my heart, or is there another supplement or something else you'd recommend?

Concerning symptoms! Considering your mom's diabetes and numbness symptoms, consult: 1. *Diabetologist*: To rule out diabetes-related complications, such as neuropathy. 2. *Neurologist*: To investigate potential nerve damage or disorders. 3. *General Physician*: For a thorough check-up and referral to a specialist if needed.
