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?

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 52 and had bypass surgery back in 2004. Right now, I'm getting chelation treatment for my heart (35EF). I'm not sure if this is the best option for me can you explain whether chelation treatment is really helpful in my case?
Stop this treatment immediately. At present this treatment is not advocated by any professional cardiac society. U may end up having kidney failure. Always get time tested therapies. If y want u can get second opinion by other certified cardiologist

I'm feeling a bit worried about this uneasy sensation in my chest that comes and goes. I know I tend to have hypertension, although my blood pressure is currently at 12878. I'm already on medication for high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels, but my latest ECG showed something about sinus arrhythmia, even though it mentioned no significant abnormalities. Can you help me understand what this means and if there's something I should be doing?
You are experiencing chest discomfort and have a history of hypertension and high triglyceride levels. Your current blood pressure is 12878 and your ECG shows sinus arrhythmia with no significant abnormality. Considering your medical history, it is important to continue with your current medications for high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels. In addition, to address the uneasy feeling in your chest, you can take a medication like Ranitidine (Zantac) 150mg twice daily before meals to help with any potential acid reflux or gastritis symptoms that may be causing your discomfort. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned after my recent tests. My Echo and TMT came back normal when it comes to signs of a heart attack, but my cardiologist mentioned that my heart rate recovery was really slow after stopping the treadmill. This has me worried because I had some chest discomfort the day before the TMT. They prescribed me Ecospirin AV 7520 and Corbis 5 for two weeks and want me to come back after that. Should I be worried about these results? What could this slow heart rate recovery mean for me?
The slow heart rate recovery after exercise can be a concern and may indicate a potential issue with your cardiovascular health. The medications prescribed to you, Ecospirin AV 7520 and Corbis 5, are commonly used to manage heart conditions. You should take Ecospirin AV 7520 once daily and Corbis 5 as prescribed by your doctor. These medications can help improve blood flow and regulate your heart rate. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and attend your follow-up appointment as scheduled.
