Hi XXXXXXX
The two images which you have attached contains medicines only and no ECG.
In one image the doctor has prescribed him with IMDUR which basically is a Nitrate group of drug which acts by causing Vasodilation in the body there by improves the blood supply to heart. HEADACHE is a known side effect of this but it's not know to cause severe body ache. Please check body temperature of your father whether he is having any fever or not as yesterday you told me that he is having cough and cold.
Second medicine is ECOSPRIN GOLD which actually is a combination of 3 medicines ASPIRIN, ATORVASTATIN And CLOPIDOGREL and is commonly prescribed in heart patients to keep the blood towards the thinner side and to reduce cholesterol levels. These are commonly know to cause gastritis and leg discomfort.
For know you can simply give him a tablet of Paracetamol for his body ache and let him rest or sleep for some time. But if he has fever then better to consult your doctor and start some antibiotics.
I hope this information will be helpful.
Kind regards

Sorry. It failed when I tried to attach the ECG Reports. Attaching the ECG Reports again.
That explains very well. His body temperature is slight high than normal. I doubt he has fever. He just complains body ache. He didn't consume those tablets today as he thinks the tablets cause him more pain. Shall I force him to take those tablets?
He looks tired coz of the body pain. I am worried whether he ll have the strength tomorrow to get the Angiogram done.
I showed him the Angiogram procedure from YouTube and explained its just an injection with some sort of XXXXXXX to understand the blood flow and clots. Nothing to worry about so that he don't face any BP variations tomorrow. Just an attempt to keep him normal tomorrow during Angiogram.

Brief Answer:
Hello Again
Detailed Answer:
No don't force him for anything let him relax and give him a tab of Crocin at least.
And YouTube idea was really good as it will prime him and make him at ease before the procedure.
Just give him some light food for lunch and after that Crocin and make him sleep for a while. Hopefully he will be fine by evening.
Kind Regards
