What Causes Recurring Fever After Treatment For Heart Attack?
Hi Doc,
My father in law had two heart attacks 3 months ago. Two of his arteries were blocked (100% and 80%). One stent has been fixed in the completely blocked artery. He had two attacks of bronchitis in the last two months. Today he is having 102 fever and he always complains of exhaustion. All his tests are now normal and there is no fluid accumulation also in the lungs. Today he just has fever and exhaustion and nothing else. Why does he get frequent fevers?
