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 worried about my high blood pressure since I'm only 27. I've been dealing with anxiety and PCOS, and I've been taking Diane 35 and Fincar for the past month. Lately, I find myself getting short of breath whenever I think about all of this. I don't want to die early and really want to improve my lifestyle. What should I do?
High blood pressure can be concerning, especially at a young age. It's important to manage your blood pressure to reduce the risk of complications. Since you are already taking Diane 35 and Fincar for PCOS, it's essential to monitor your blood pressure regularly. In addition to lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise, you may benefit from medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of starting an antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. Remember to continue monitoring your blood pressure and follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to adjust your treatment plan as needed."

I'm wondering if having a blood pressure reading of 12060 is considered normal or if it might be something I should be concerned about. I've been leading a pretty healthy lifestyle, but should I think about seeing a doctor?
Your blood pressure reading of 12060 is considered normal and falls within the healthy range. Since you have a healthy lifestyle, there is no immediate cause for concern. However, it's always a good idea to monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or chest pain, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
