Hello Doctor, My Father has 1 stent 1 year ago. from the past 10 months he is suffering from shortness of breath and sleeplessness and the doctor suggested to use Auto CPAP to overcome. Still he has the shortness of breath every night and admitted to hospital on emergency several times. And his heart strength reducing as days going forward. Is there any way to get rid of this? Thanks in Advance. -Surender
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, your father is mostly suffering from congestive heart failure (CHF). Better to consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and coronary angiography. If these show coronary artery blocks, angioplasty and Bypass surgery are the options. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
