Hi I'm new to here . My father who is 71 has severe heart failure. Back in April of this year he underwent a triple heart bypass & new heart valve. After his surgery he has deteriorated steadily . Which has now left him exhausted and very poorly.

Hi Saffron,
I am very sorry to hear that your dad has been
unwell; this must be a very worrying time for you and your family. You mention
that your dad has deteriorated rapidly after his triple bypass, have you spoken
to his doctors about his current condition?
You may find it helpful to look at our
information on supporting a family member with a terminal illness, which you
