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'm really worried. My total cholesterol came back as 108 and there's a star next to itwhat does that mean? I've been having heart palpitations and got my ECG, 2D echo, and TMT done, and everything turned out normal. Can you help me figure out whats going on?
A total cholesterol level of 108 mgdL is considered low, and while low cholesterol is generally not a concern, it may sometimes indicate underlying conditions like liver issues or nutrient deficiencies, so its worth discussing with your doctor. Regarding your heart palpitations, its reassuring that your ECG, 2D echo, and TMT tests came back normal, suggesting no immediate heart problems. Palpitations can still be caused by factors like stress, anxiety, caffeine, or electrolyte imbalances, so its important to monitor any triggers or patterns. Ensure you're maintaining a balanced diet (especially electrolytes like potassium and magnesium), managing stress, and avoiding excessive caffeine or alcohol. Since your tests are normal, but palpitations persist, you may want to follow up with your doctor for further advice and possibly consider a Holter monitor to track the palpitations more closely.
