Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
We have to monitor his heart and investigate the extent of damage to heart. After heart attack he is vulnerable to ventricular fibrillations and sudden cardiac death. So he needs proper cardiac help. For that take him to the Cardiologist.
Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions, feel free to contact me anytime. If satisfied, please give a five Star rating and don't forget to Close the discussion.
