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've been having an abnormal heart rate for the past month, consistently between 90 and 110. I was on high blood pressure medication but stopped taking it two months ago based on my doctor's advice. They told me to keep an eye on my blood pressure, but I'm worried about whether my heart rate is something to be concerned about. Should I be seeing any changes, or is this normal after stopping the medication?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing an abnormal heart rate, it is crucial to manage your blood pressure effectively. You can monitor your blood pressure at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. If your blood pressure remains consistently high, your doctor may recommend restarting your high blood pressure medication. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

I'm 24 and I've been noticing my heart rate is usually under 60 beats a minute. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal? I weigh 120kg, and I'm 5'10". Also, I was diagnosed with GERD a few weeks back and have been on medication for it. Is it okay for my resting heart rate to be in the 50s?
A resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute is known as bradycardia. In your case, with a history of GERD and being on medication, it is important to consider the overall clinical picture. However, in general, a heart rate in the 50s can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. Given your weight and height, it would be advisable to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath. It is important to ensure that your GERD medication is not causing any adverse effects on your heart rate.
