My dad used to have really good stamina, but lately, he seems to get super tired and starts breathing heavily even after just a little bit of work. What could be going on with him? Should we be worried about this sudden change?

View allMy 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.

My dad, who's 69, got really bad chest pains about five days ago and the ECG showed he had a heart attack. They did an angiography too and found there's blockage in three arteriesone's at 90 percent, another at 70, and the last one at 50 percent. The doctor said he needs surgery. I'm really worried and wanted to get your opinion on this. Is surgery the only option, and what kind of risks are we looking at? Are there any alternatives or additional things we should consider?
yes angiolasty is recommended to your father as there triple vessel disease and three arteries are blocked .

I've been having this chest pain for a few days now and sometimes when I'm trying to sleep, I get these heart palpitations and feel short of breath. It honestly feels like I'm going to die, and it's making it hard for me to get any sleep. I went to a general physician recently and explained everything. The doctor just checked my pulse and listened to my heart with a stethoscope and said theres nothing to worry about. But can I actually trust that? I keep feeling like something's wrong with my heart, but the doctor didnt suggest any tests. Should I get some tests to check my heart health, or am I overthinking this? What would you advise?
it seems like there may not be an immediate cause for concern regarding heart health. However, if your symptoms persist, worsen, or cause you significant distress, its perfectly reasonable to ask for further testing to rule out heart conditions and also explore the possibility of anxiety-related symptoms. If you're still unsure or worried, I recommend having a follow-up consultation with your doctor or seeking a cardiology specialist for more specific tests, such as an ECG or echocardiogram.
