It typically takes 6-12 weeks to recover fully from coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, but individual recovery times can vary. After the initial recovery period, most individuals can resume normal activities, but the possibility of future heart issues, like graft blockage or progression of other heart conditions, remains

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate and blood pressure. My heart rate stays around 96 on average and jumps to 110 when I stand up. My blood pressure is usually around 13095. Should I be worried about these numbers, or is it something that could help with meditation?

Your heart rate of 96 on average and increasing to 110 on standing, along with a blood pressure of 13095, indicate that you may have some issues with your cardiovascular health. It would be advisable to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Atenolol 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, practicing meditation can also be beneficial in managing stress and improving overall heart health.
