My father has not been well for few years. All his tests are mostly normal and doctors advice him to quit smoking (he was a cronic smoker). Now he smokes once a day and we dont stop him cuz he feels uneasy without it. He weighs less than 40kgs and very weak at this time. We have changed doctors, medicines of all sorts but he doesnt seem to recover. There is no such serious illness as per doctors. We think it was his unhealthy lifestyle ( smoking and improper eating habits). He was in a marketing job and due to travelling everyday there was no such eating routine. He never cared about his body and now it seems to have had very bad effect on him. He has not been well for a long time ( cough, lose motion, fever and weakness) and now he seems hopeless. He doesnt have hunger at all and sometimes he behaves like a 90 year old, hopeless with his health. Please somebody suggest what should we do. He is getting weaker and weaker now. Though he has tried ayusvedic anf homeopathic meds as well still if someone has a good experience, plz suggest.
No doubt his unhealthy habits contributed to poor health, but, really, millions of people have very poor habits and stay functioning way beyond their sixties. And for many of them once they improve their habits their health improves, too.
Does your father have lung cancer? Is that what causes the cough?
Where is your father located?
Has anyone suggested hospice care for him?
Again, I am very sorry that your family is facing this.
Are you taking his word for what the doctors are telling him, or are you hearing from the doctors themselves that they don't know what his underlying illness is?
Sadly, though, years of smoking have possibly damaged ALL of his systems. Smoking causes ALL cancers, we tend to think it's only the lungs.
