My dad had a CABG surgery around three months ago, and now he's really wanting to have a drink. I'm worried and wondering if it's okay for him to have alcohol after the surgery. Can you share some advice on this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is generally recommended for patients who have undergone CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) to avoid alcohol consumption, especially in the initial recovery period. Alcohol can interact with medications, affect heart function, and potentially increase the risk of complications. It is best for your father to consult with his cardiologist before consuming any alcohol.

View allI'm really concerned because my heart beat rate has been around 100-110 bpm throughout the day, but when I'm resting, like right after I wake up, it's at 80 bpm. Are these numbers something I should be worried about? Ive had an ECG treadmill test and an electrolyte test, and my doctor said they were all normal. I'm still worried, so what should I do about this high heart rate?

I'm a 40-year-old guy and I've been taking tablets since 2015. Originally, I was on Stamlo 5, but recently my blood pressure was consistently high around 140110 to 140100, even with the Stamlo 5. The doctor switched my medication to Envas 10 and Hydrazide 12.5, and now my blood pressure is under control. I'm just a bit worried about any side effects these might have. Could you give me some advice?
Envas 10 is a brand name for Enalapril, which is an ACE inhibitor that helps relax blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Hydrazide 12.5 is a combination medication containing Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic that helps your body get rid of extra salt and water to lower blood pressure. Some common side effects of Enalapril include dizziness, cough, and high potassium levels. Hydrochlorothiazide can cause dizziness, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances. It's important to monitor for any side effects and report them to your doctor. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your blood pressure and adjust your medication as needed.
