What Does Face Swelling In A Heart Patient Indicate?
My father had 2 massive heart attacks in one year! The second one caused him to pass away and he was brought back after 45 minutes of recessitation. He has 15% capacity left in his heart as well as having diabetes! He smokes 2 packs of cigarettes.a day and doesn't eat properly! He is constantly sick and sleeps the days away! He has shut himself off from everyone but recently I ran into him and his face was puffy almost swollen looking. I remember his face looking similar after the second heart attack! Could this be a sign of arising issues?
