Hi, My father is 63 years old. 2 days back he suffered a chest pain for a long time when he was walking for quite sometimes. He did some chest examinations and after he was shown a cardiologist he told that apart from a blockage in heart there is a small miocadial infarction.
I don't stay with him and i really don't know what is the his health condition and what is the immediate doable for him.
He is fine now. Some medicines are given. I don't understand was it a heart attack because the doctor haven't told like that.
I stay in Bangalore and is in Kolkata. Pls suggest the immediate doable and places where treatments would be good.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Please note that as he has suffered a heart attack he must take drugs as nitrates as nitrocontin or angispan plus aspirin regularly. His blood pressure must be controlled. He also needs lipid lowering drug as statin. He should avoid physical and mental exertion. Morning or evening walk at slow pace is useful. Advise him to avoid outing in extreme temperature variations. As he is in Kolkata he should consult a cardiologist there and undergo angiography and discuss with his doctor about stent or bypaas surgery. There must be many cardiologists in kolkata itself.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
