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 monitoring my blood pressure with an Omron machine, and it reads 100140, but my pulse is normal. I heard that blood pressure can stay high in winter. Should I think about consulting a doctor for this?
Seasonal changes can indeed affect blood pressure levels in some individuals. If your blood pressure consistently remains at 140100 mmHg, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation. You can consider taking antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper assessment and personalized treatment plan.

My mother-in-law had a stent procedure about 10 days ago, and she's been experiencing fever and chills on and off. Is this something to be concerned about?
Fever and chills after a stent procedure could be a sign of infection. It is important to monitor her closely and contact her healthcare provider immediately. She may need antibiotics such as Amoxicillin 500mg to treat the infection. The dosage would typically be 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days.
