Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

It looks like your father is suffering from progressive heart failure.

The details provided by you are not enough for me to make treatment recommendation. It would be helpful if you could post the reports of all test done recently during hospitalization. I will be in a better position to give you an appropriate and scientific advice then.

Awaiting a response from you.

Best regards
