Checked-out

After some check-ups including a stint on the treadmill machine, the conclusion was that my Dad probably had a touch of reflux. With his background history, taking those tests were sensible precautions. He was worried that he would have to wait for tests if he were to go to UMMC and at his age, he could do without all that.

He was given medicine and is now settling back at home. He said, he would probably be having a lie-in all afternoon and I wouldn't blame him. Thank Allah that everything checked out OK.

To Gleneagles We Went

My Dad-in-law woke up this morning after sahur with a touch of chest discomfort. The pain was in the upper tummy area but with his history of heart condition, I did not want to take any chances. He had similar pain a couple of days ago which settled on its own. Since it returned again today, he decided to let me know.

He tried a tablet under the tongue as well as some antacid but with only modest relief. I still thought that it was a bit of indigestion and reflux, but I did not want to take any chances. He was reluctant to go to UMMC, electing to see his previous doctor in Gleneagles instead. Will be accompanying there him shortly.
