Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

If he is young enough for a heart transplant, they may throw him on the list. Heart failure is extremely tricky. I assume he's in a hospital already.

For your own personal benefit, it is important you ask the doctor as many questions as possible. It is your right to be informed. No doctor can hold information from your father, regarding his condition. Ask the doctor if there are any experimental treatments or possibilities in transplantation. Ask for a prognosis. The worst feeling you could have is being left in the dark. If you already tried asking your doctor this question and was not satisfied, ask again and more forcefully. Ask him  in similar situations with other patients, what usually happens.

Best of luck. I hope everything turns out okay.

Answer 5

They might give him a heart bypass or something.  He's in the best of hands tho, doctors know what they're doing and have done it loads before.  Hope he gets better soon xx

Answer 6

My father has CHF which is Congestive Heart Failure. They put him in the hospital and gave him diuretics to get rid of the fluid build up. Then they got him started on medicine.  He is doing ok,  and has lived with this condition for about 3 years now.  He has to take it easy when he works outside in the garden or mowing etc. because he runs out of breath more now.  Good luck with your father!

Answer 7

If the doctor says thats wat it is it may well be, but you know gps these days.... give him lots of love and care (possibly take him to the hospital)- hope this helps
