Dad is 77 years old, heart surgery few years ago, nothing serious since + clean tests.Slight arthritis which affected his back a bit.His fingers are always numb and cant hold and feel with them, why?

you have to ask him if the numbness is related to exertion. if yes a follow up with his cardiologist is a must
•
Is it in both hands?, he should be examined by a neurologist most probably
•
In fact you have to see if the numbness is in both hands, but the first diagnosis would be a "disc" problem in the neck
Anyways if your father hasn't had Echocardiography and Stress test since the operation, it's big time to do them

numbness in both hands is probably of cervical origin
