Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Heart leaking valves are commonly treated with Diuretics ( for treating swelling on body or high blood pressure OR blood thinners to prevent clotting.
Out of these blood thinners can lead to diarrhea & indigestion.In case your father has these side effects.. he should stop the pills & consult the treating doctor for changing dosage or brand of medicine to suit light food & his gut.Till then let him have easily digestible food( light tea, coffee, juices, soups) & sufficient water to prevent dehydration.
Thanks.
