Post Angiogram Checkup for Dad

Dad had his scheduled checkup following the angiogram procedure. Good News! He's just fine. The Doc wants him to come back in 3 months for another follow-up checkup, assuming everything continues as is.

Dad complained to the Doc about chest pains again. But the Doc explained that it's not his heart, since the angiogram showed that his arteries are clear. The Doc doesn't have an answer for him. Doc suggested that it could be arthritis pain that radiates from the shoulder down into the chest area. But, that's strictly a guess. Since the pain doesn't last very long (seconds to possibly a minute), the doc says it isn't anything to be seriously concerned about. He also suggested Dad take Tylenol to help with this pain. Otherwise, everything seems to be fine.

With Dad on the road to recovery, Mom can now concentrate on some of her health issues. She has made appointments. One is for back pain, the another is for pain in her knee and another is for concerns about her cholesterol levels. I hope she is able to get some satisfactory answers.
