After blood tests and ECG, it was discovered that he had suffered a heart attack. He was given medication and medically stabilised. He was also found Covid positive. Although he had no symptoms - no fever, no cough - the treatment was given for that as well. After a week, an angiography was done. It showed blockages in all 3 major heart (coronary) arteries with 100% block in 2 arteries and 70-90% block in third artery. His heart function was normal and fortunately, there was no damage to heart muscle. Hence, a bypass surgery was recommended and done. He has recovered well and is being discharged now." (sic)

He is a positive person with a bright outlook to life." (sic)
