Jen J asked:


My grandfather just recently had a slow heart attack due to high cholesterol (there was a 100% blockage in an artery) the doctors operated on him and open up the closed artery. (he also has high blood pressure) In less than 1 month we are planning on a family trip to Chile. Do you think its ok for him to travel with us With the high altitudes and change of climate and seasons.?
