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.

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure. I've been dealing with BP issues for the last 10 years and for the past 10 days, its been all over the place. Ive been on Amlosafe MT 50 for the last decade, and my doctor just added Telvas 3D to the mix three days ago. Seems like my BP has stabilized at 18080 since then, which is better than when it was fluctuating between 18097 and 16090. How long do you think itll take for my BP to get back to normal?

It is difficult to predict exactly how many days it will take for your blood pressure to become normal after starting Telvas 3D. However, typically you should see some improvement in your blood pressure within 1-2 weeks of starting the new medication. It is important to continue taking both Amlosafe MT 50 and Telvas 3D as prescribed by your doctor for the best results. If you do not see significant improvement in your blood pressure after a few weeks, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and possible adjustment of your medication dosage.
