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 cholesterol is still high even after changing my diet and starting to walk regularly for the last four months. I was really hoping these changes would help. My doctor prescribed Rosubest 10mg, and I'm worried about whether this medication could affect my liver. I had a grade 2 fatty liver before and my LFT blood report showed inflammation. Could taking this tablet make that worse? Just trying to get a sense of what I should look out for.
Rosuvastatin (Rosubest 10mg) can potentially affect liver function, especially with a pre-existing grade 2 fatty liver and elevated LFTs; however, your doctor may have considered this risk and prescribed it under careful monitoring; ensure regular liver function tests (every 6-12 weeks) and report any symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal pain to your doctor, who may adjust the dosage or consider alternative treatments.

I'm Bryan Das, and I'm 23 years old. A few years back, I had issues with heart palpitations and anxiety. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 after doing a bunch of tests, and I've been on it ever since. I keep an eye on my blood pressure, and it's usually around 12080 or 11775, so that's all good. I feel fine, except for the occasional heaviness in my head when I get acidity problems, but it's not frequent. I've recently been selected as a commissioned officer in the Indian Army, and I'm aware that there's some intense training ahead. Should I be concerned about the military training affecting my heart, and before starting, I'm planning to get into the routine of running or jogging about 3-5 km every morning. Is that safe for me, or are there any risks I should know about? My blood sugar and lipid profile are normal. Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
It's great to hear that your blood pressure remains stable with CIPLAR LA 40 and that your blood sugar and lipid profile tests are normal. With your medical history of heart palpitation and anxiety, it is important to proceed with caution when starting a new exercise routine, especially one as rigorous as military training. Running or jogging for 3-5 km daily can be safe for you, but it is advisable to start slowly and gradually increase your intensity to assess your body's response. Given your stable blood pressure and normal test results, running can be beneficial for your overall health and fitness. However, it is essential to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard, especially if you experience any symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath. It would be advisable to consult with your doctor or a cardiologist before starting any new exercise routine to ensure it is safe for you. As for military training, it is important to inform your trainers about your medical history and current medication. They can provide guidance on how to safely participate in the training activities. Regular monitoring of your heart rate and blood pressure during training sessions is also recommended to ensure your safety. In conclusion, running or jogging for 3-5 km daily can be safe for you, but it is crucial to start gradually and listen to your body. Military training can also be safe with proper precautions and monitoring.
