? Ischemic : Your father's condition is such that it should be discussed in person with his doctor. Adverse effects of medication, peptic ulcer, and chronic mesenteric ischemia are some common causes as based on his risk factors. If the bypass was recent, there is a chance they could be related and you would want to bring it to the attention of his surgeon. Blessings for your father.

Heart failure and: With heart failure , there is fluid built up in the entire body , the patient can not breathe corrrectly and food consumption is no a comfotable thing plus the patient seem not interested in helping since he still uses tobacco. The patient has to help himself before any one else can help.
