Father 74 yrs got heart attack angiography suggested mmm hospital chennai what would be the cost is it safe he has some breathing problem's is angiography safe

1 Answers

I can't tell you prices, because it depends on country, there are different costs in different countries. As for safety, it's quit safe procedure, but it has it's risks as any other medical procedure. Your father's breathing problems can be related to his heart condition, so it is very important to be checked it out, and angiography is the best procedure that checks heart's blood vessels. Blokage of coronary (heart) blood vessels causes infarction, if angiography shows that there are blocked blood vessels, doctor will recommend to open this vessel by special procedure, that is called angioplasty. Don't loose the time, as fast angioplasty is done, as good the prognosis of patient is!

My father is 78 years old and has been suffering from constipation for the last 2 years. He has also lost a lot of weight around 10 kgs in this time span. In the last couple of months he has been complaining that his abdominal muscles have torn due to bowel straining and now he says there is loss of muscle in his stomach area. Which is why when he lies down everything is fine but when he sits up and walks around he feels like he is carrying a weight in his stomach. After intake of food it becomes worse and he also gets bloating. We have done all possible tests - colonoscopy, CT scan, ultrasound sometime last year and everything was clear. The doctors gave a verdict of idiopathic constipation and left it at that. His blood work is fine, haemoglobin levels, cholestrol etc. He still suffers from constipation. His prostrate is enlarged but results are fine. What is the solution to his stomach muscle problem ? Is it lack of exercise, lack of protein ? He doesnt have a pot belly and has never had and had always been physically active and fairly slender.

my daughter has been prescribed Serta 25 for a panic attack she had recently while in a boarding school. She is in the final year for IB boards and maybe undergoing stress in preparation for the forthcoming exams. she is a little highly-strung and sensitive girl. With reference to the black-out she had she said that there was no external stimuli ie. pressure of the exams to have caused this attack. I as a mother am not not very sure. Her doctor prescribed Serta 25 one a day in the morning and Sibelium 5 one a day at night for 30 days. I am concerned about the side effects of these medicines. Are they safe to take under the given circumstances.
