Did your wife undergo heart valve surgery yet? Ovarian cyst removal is done laparoscopically and so is not meant to have much load on the heart. The ejection fraction of the heart is the function that is more importantly looked at before any operative procedure is advised/planned.
Arthritis pain often includes stiffness, swelling, and difficulty moving the joint, especially after waking up. Rheumatoid arthritis may cause fatigue or fever. Proper diagnosis can only be made after physical exams, X-rays, or blood tests, so visiting a doctor is important.

Yes. Your father is at higher risk of a heart attack. High cholesterol can lead to the buildup of plaque in arteries and damaging blood vessels. Recommended tests are lipid tests, HbA1c, Electrocardiogram, Echocardiogram, Stress test and Coronary Calcium Score. You can book your appointment through our platform asap.
