My dad is 61 and had CABG surgery two weeks ago with 4 grafts. He's also diabetic. How long will his recovery take to get back to normal and can we expect any future heart issues after the bypass
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allI've been on amlosafe at 5mg for about 4 months now, but my blood pressure is still hovering around 150100. Do you think I should be switching up my medication, or is there something else I should be trying?
Amlosafe is a brand name for Amlodipine. Since your blood pressure is still high despite taking Amlodipine 5mg for 4 months, you may need a change in medication. I recommend discussing with your doctor about switching to a different antihypertensive medication such as Losartan .

I'm really concerned about my current situation. I've had mitral heart disease for 7 years now, and I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. My cardiologist mentioned I might need open heart surgery after delivering. Is it safe for me to proceed with the pregnancy given my heart condition? Also, I'm not clear whether the surgery would be a valve replacement or just a repair. Could you help clarify? My recent echo showed severe mitral regurgitation, among other findings. Just trying to understand what this all means for me and my baby.
