I'm experiencing some chest tightness and pain, and I'm not sure if it's due to an allergy or something else. I've also noticed some swelling in my face and a persistent cold feeling. It's as if my chest feels bigger and there's some issue with my stomach too. Could this be related to a chest problem, or could it be something else entirely that's causing these symptoms? What do you think might be going on?

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 really concerned about my dad. He's 55 and dealing with diabetes and high blood pressure, and he was told he needs to decide about a second open-heart surgery. The first one he had was an off-pump coronary artery bypass using a vein from his leg. He's supposed to have this new surgery by the end of the year.

Infection,bleeding ,allergic reactions and headache are some of the complications of the surgery.
