hi Kalpana. Your symptoms direct towards a spinal nerve injury. Did you have a recent fall or lower back injury that involved you being on bed rest? You must undergo MRI lumbar spine and then see an orthopedician for further intervention.

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.
