Question 1

I've had an angioplasty with a drug-eluting stent placed back in March, and I'm currently on medication. I'm really wondering if it's okay for me to have alcohol socially. I used to enjoy whiskey about twice a week before all of this. Can you give me some advice on whether that's still safe?

Accepted Answer

After angioplasty with a drug-eluting stent, moderate social alcohol consumption is generally allowed, but consult your cardiologist first; if permitted, limit whiskey consumption to 1-2 units (30-60ml) per occasion, 1-2 times a week, and prioritize medications, healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management for optimal heart health.

Question 2

I'm worried because last night my blood pressure was at 15790, so I took Amlong 2.5, but it didn't seem to work by the morning. I ended up taking a Nebicard 5mg without consulting my doctor, and by the evening, my BP came down to 12979. I'm a bit anxious about whether Nebicard 5mg is safe for me to use in such situations. Should I try Amlong 5mg instead, or is sticking with Nebicard better? I'm really unsure what to do and would appreciate some advice.

Accepted Answer

Nebicard 5 mg is advised SOS basis , rest continue all the medications as advised by the cardiologist..
