Question

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?

Question

I've been experiencing this off-and-on chest tightness and shortness of breath for several years now. It's like I can't catch my breath sometimes, and I have to take deep breaths to feel okay. I don't have any medical history, and Im not on any meds. I saw a couple of doctors, and they said it might be panic attacks. My ECG came back normal, but it seems to get worse when I lie down. Occasionally, I feel like I need to yawn to fully catch my breath. Could you help me understand what's going on?
