He will start medication to hopefully keep things the way they are now and not take a turn for the worse. Meds may help with the blockages in the long term but that is an unknown at this time.

Those medications work pretty good; though not exactly fast acting from my understanding. You don't want to just dislodge the blockages anyways. Could just make things a whole lot worse.
Docs got this down to a science nowadays so I'm sure he is in good hands.
As long as the tech dept keeps his tv and internet running in the meantime!
