I'm experiencing shortness of breath at night when I'm trying to sleep, and it sometimes happens while I'm eating too. Could this be related to fluid in my lungs? What could be causing this?

Hey, I'm reaching out because my dad, who's 57, is dealing with some serious mitral regurgitation and his LVEF is just 30. The doctors here have mentioned a MITRACLIP surgery as a possible solution. Could you tell me where in India we can get this surgery done? I'm really worried and just want the best care for him.

"Hi, for mitral regurgitation with low LVEF, MITRACLIP surgery is a good option. In India, you can consider getting the MITRACLIP surgery done at hospitals like Apollo Hospitals, Fortis Hospitals, or Medanta - The Medicity. These hospitals have experienced cardiac surgeons who can perform the procedure successfully. It is important to consult with the cardiologist and surgeon at the chosen hospital to discuss the procedure in detail and plan for the surgery. The dosage and specific brand of medications post-surgery will be prescribed by the treating doctor based on your father's condition."
