My father suffered a myocardial infarction while hospitalized for an endoscopy.

I am now a 50 year old working man.

My father is 78 years old this year.

I go to a general hospital because of chronic renal failure and diabetes.

I had a severe gastric ulcer two months ago, so I had another gastroscopy after treatment.

A small lump was seen, so a biopsy was performed and it was diagnosed as early-stage stomach cancer.

Fortunately, he underwent endoscopic surgery.

Three days after the procedure, my chest hurt and I didn't feel short of breath, but my blood pressure dropped and I started to sweat.

After a full day of electrocardiograms and echocardiography, he was diagnosed with right-sided myocardial infarction.

I was sent straight to the intensive care unit, and after worrying, I had a coronary angiogram and stent insertion the next day.

I was very worried because he was elderly, had diabetes, and had chronic renal failure, and had a gastroscopy a few days ago.

I was relieved when he said he was getting better and would be discharged.
