Brief Answer:
Threatened heart attack - needs care
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The situation suggests Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) / suspected heart attack - in evolution...
We cannot predict the severity at this stage – it needs examination, monitoring, blood tests and further follow-up. As of now, the overall function is good and he needs further assessment and assistance
The next step is to undergo catheterisation and coronary angiography with a view for possible intervention. It is the only way to directly ‘see’ the block, if any – and its location, extent, severity and so on. Coronary arteriography is invasive but it is the gold standard for this.
The aim of any investigation is to modify the treatment, based on the result.
Intervention – dilatation with balloon and placing a stent (Angioplasty) - or CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft) may be advised based on the results.
Good luck
God bless you

Brief Answer:
YES
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Stress is also a risk factor – so called Type A personality
When the basic pathology is there, this can precipitate a heart attack
He may need an intervention (Dilatation & stent) or Bypass – based on the results of the angio

Quit smoking, if he is a smoker
Needs to do regular EXERCISE – say walking or jogging - 30 minutes a day / at least 5 days in a week. Isometric exercise is not good.
Healthy FOOD is a must. Avoid saturated fats – coconut oil, palm oil, butter, ghee, full cream milk...Avoid junk foods in particular – French fries have palm oil / Pizza has cheese / XXXXXXX sweets are made in ghee.../ Change to Poly-un-saturated oil – like sun flower oil. / Include Mono-un-saturated oil – Olive oil.
