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 currently undergoing treatment for tuberculosis, and I've noticed I have a heart murmur. I had an echo done, and everything seemed normal, but I'm experiencing high palpitations. Is it common to have a heart murmur while on TB medication? Should I be worried about the palpitations, or is this just a normal side effect?
Cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really concerned about some persistent pain in my chest since an auto accident 40 days ago. The x-ray mentioned something about an altered cardio thoracic ratio, and honestly, that's got me a bit worried. I've been using volini and doing hot compresses, but nothing seems to help. Can you advise on what might be going on and what I should do next?

I'm sitting on a chair, and my heart rate is around 94-95. When I take a moderate walk, it jumps to 130, but I don't feel any discomfort. This has been happening for about 20 days now. In the past, my resting heart rate used to be between 75-80. Should I be worried about this?
This change in your heart rate could be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, dehydration, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. However, it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. I recommend you to take Tab Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated, reduce caffeine intake, and monitor your heart rate regularly. If you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, seek immediate medical attention.
