Question

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?

Question

My uncle's dealing with some heart blockages and is being advised to undergo this new MICS technique heart surgery at Apollo Bangalore by Dr. Sathyaki Nambala. He's a bit uneasy about it since this is a newer technique and he's anxious about the results. I couldn't find many reviews or info online, so I thought I'd check here to see if any doctors could share some insights. What are the risks involved, and is there anything specific he should be concerned about? Should he just stick with this new procedure, or go with the traditional method? Would love any advice or thoughts you might have.
