Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.
The symptoms that your father has can be due to several reasons like side effects of medication, or other illnesses like diabetes, electrolyte imbalances, or depression as well. In order to help you better, I would request you to answer the following queries:
a. What medications is he currently taking?
b. Does he have any other illness like diabetes, thyroid disease, stroke, depression or any other illness as well?
c. Has he been taking his meals properly?
Awaiting your reply

Also how long he needs to take rest after PTCA.
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your reply.
From the drug chart you provide,it is clear from that he had non diabetes and his thyroid status is also normal.
The medications that he is taking like Met ER and the Anxit can cause serious fatigue and tiredness. Also depression can make it worse.
The fatigue due to medications will become normal after some time. Try talking to him and engaging him in various activities.
And the duration of taking rest solely decided by your doctor but usually it is 1 week but since this depends on a case to case basis, go with what the physician told you.
