Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your father's situation and problem. Your father is having structural heart diseases (HOCM). It is hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy). And recurrent breathlessness is common in this condition. It is due to left sided heart failure. The only permanent option for this HOCM is surgical correction of obstruction. So better to consult cardiac surgeon and discuss about surgical option. Drugs will help for short duration. It will not relieve obstruction. So surgery is must for recurrent cases. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good healthhealth to your father. Thanks.
