Hello Again

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the information.

It's ok nothing to worry as of now but to need to make him start doing exercise daily or morning walks. Increase intake of healthy food stuff and avoid deep fried and junk food.

I would also like to suggest you to get a TMT done for him as there is a family history of heart disease as a precautionary measure to make sure all is well.

I hope this information will answer your query and relieve your worries.

Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts or else you can close the discussion and kindly rate the answer
