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 experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest and in my left arm. Its not really intense but it does come and go. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do about it?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to angina or heart-related issues. It is important to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg to help with chest pain. The recommended dosage is one tablet daily. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can also be used for chest pain relief. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.4 mg placed under the tongue for quick effect. Remember, these are temporary measures and it is crucial to see a healthcare professional for further assessment.

I've been experiencing this sharp pain and tightness in my chest, and it sometimes feels more like stabbing. It's not constant - sometimes it's there, sometimes not. It's weird because I also feel it around my back. On top of that, I'm always tired and feel drowsy. Should I be concerned about this?

I've just checked my blood pressure at home and got a reading of 13784 while standing. I took the measurement suddenly without resting, and then it read 12780 after two minutes, and after another two minutes, it dropped to 11274. Is this normal? Should I be worried about these quick changes?
Blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day due to various factors such as stress, physical activity, and even the time of day. However, the readings you provided are within the normal range. A blood pressure of 13784, 12780, and 11274 are all considered normal blood pressure readings. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and if you have any concerns, consult with your healthcare provider.
