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?

I'm thinking about doing a TMT in a week since I've had hyper acidity issues. I've already done tests like a thyroid profile, ECG, and echo, and everything came back normal. A friend suggested I should consider a TMT as well. Do you think there's a chance it might show something positive?
A TMT (Treadmill Test) is commonly used to assess the heart's response to stress and can help diagnose coronary artery disease. Given that your thyroid profile, ECG, and echo are normal, the chances of a positive TMT result are lower. However, it is still important to proceed with the TMT as advised. If you experience hyperacidity during the test, you can take antacids like "Ranitidine" 150mg before the test to help manage the symptoms.

I've been feeling some pain in my chest, shoulder, and back, and the doctor thinks it might be diastolic dysfunction grade one. Is this something serious? I'm really curious about whether this condition can be cured. Also, does what I eat or how much I exercise make a difference in dealing with this issue? The doctor gave me some medicine, but I'm not sure where to go from here.
Yes that is reversible,no need to worry follow your doctors advice
