My Grandfather woke up one morning and was short of breath, he had cough for 1-2 days. We shifted him to ICU in nearby hospital after which his condition improved. Blood reports and CT scans are normal. But after a day his condition worsened again, he was on oxygen mask and heart beat reached 165. Doctors say that there is some problem with the heart, shift him to another . What should we do?
