My grandfather is 67 years old. 2 years back, one night, grandmother knocked on my parents’ room and informed them that my grandfather was having chest pain. We all rushed to my grandparents’ room.
Grandpa was sweating a lot, and he said that he was feeling a burning sensation in the chest. My father did not want to take a risk, but it was 2 AM, so he decided to take grandpa to the doctor the next day. My father called his doctor friend and followed all his instructions so that he could manage to provide grandfather a bit of relief for the night. That doctor uncle told my father about the best heartspecialist in Kolkata. The following day, the first thing my father did was to book an appointment with the doctor. We took grandfather to a health clinic in Newtown to meet the doctor. The doctor checked grandfather thoroughly and prescribed some tests. My grandfather was diagnosed with coronary artery disease. The doctor prescribed some medication along with some lifestyle changes. The changes of lifestyle should be maintained throughout the rest of life, he added. The doctor also informed that he might have to opt for surgery if he did not respond to medication. Thankfully, grandpa responded and got better with time. Till now, he religiously follows all that the heartspecialist in Kolkata has advised. Grandpa is relatively better now and is leading a happy life.
