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.

My mom keeps mentioning that she's experiencing chest and back pain off and on. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could there be any specific reasons for these symptoms that we should look into?
Chest pain and back pain can be caused by a variety of reasons. Some common causes include musculoskeletal issues, such as muscle strain or inflammation. However, more serious conditions like heart problems (such as angina or a heart attack), lung issues (such as pneumonia or a pulmonary embolism), or gastrointestinal problems (such as acid reflux or gallbladder issues) could also be the cause. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
