I have been experiencing sharp pain in my lower right abdomen for about 6 months. I was recently diagnosed with fatty liver and inconclusive gallbladder stones or polyps.

My dad, who has a pacemaker and is 80 years old, has been experiencing harder breathing when walking or exerting himself, though his breathing is normal when sitting.

Should I press for him to see his cardiologist instead of continuing with his primary doctor?
