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.

I've been feeling some palpitations over the past week, but didn't worry too much since my heart rate seemed okay and I was experiencing a lot of reflux. I thought they might be ectopic beats. However, today something came up that mentioned atrial flutter. Could you please take a look and confirm if that's correct? I know machines sometimes make mistakes with these readings and it's got me a bit concerned.
Atrial flutter is a type of arrhythmia characterized by a rapid and regular heart rhythm, and it can sometimes be misdiagnosed by automatic ECG readings. Given your symptoms of palpitations and the recent diagnosis, it's crucial to have this evaluated by a healthcare professional. An atrial flutter diagnosis should be confirmed by a cardiologist through a thorough review of your ECG and possibly additional tests such as a Holter monitor or an electrophysiological study. Its important not to ignore these symptoms, as atrial flutter can increase the risk of stroke and other complications. Please schedule an appointment with your cardiologist to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options.
