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.

View allHey, I've been feeling really worried lately. So, I'm a 29-year-old guy and back in December, I had this scary episode where my heart was racing like crazy and I had chest pain. I rushed to the hospital, they did an ECG, and said everything looked fine. I even saw another senior cardiologist who also checked me out and didn't find anything alarming. They gave me some meds like clonozopam and betacap tr 40, and things were okay for a while. But the past few weeks, I've been getting this weird fluttering or vibrating feeling in my heart, especially in the evenings. I don't have any chest pain or other symptoms now, but I'm really stressed about it. With the lockdown, I'm having trouble seeing a doctor again. Do you think this could just be anxiety, or is there something else going on? What should I do? I've attached the ECG from that time, if that helps.
That could be due to anxiety,if your previos medicines are avaialable with you you can take those medicines and visit psychiatrist for appropriate management

My dad recently had an ECG which turned out normal, but his TMT results showed positive for exercise-induced ischemia. I'm quite worried because his hemoglobin level is really low at 8.8. Do you think he needs an angiogram? I'm not sure what the best next steps are, and would appreciate your guidance.
Correct anemia first then can think to do stress echocardiography....to confirm..but If there are any risk facters like diabetes and hypertension or smoking or obesity or family history & inactive lifestyle...& symptoms of chest pain or breathing difficulty, angiography should be done Anyways need insight on all these & need to see the TMT strips to suggest the next best step.

I'm really worried right now because my mom's been having chest pains. We took her to the doctor, and after doing the echo and ECG tests, they found out her ejection fraction is low, with an LVEF of 40-45. The doctor said we should wait 5 days for an angiography test, but I'm anxious. Do you think it's safe to wait that long or should we do it sooner?
Yes, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendation to undergo the angiography test. This test will provide more information about the blood flow to the heart and help determine the best course of treatment for your mother's condition. Waiting for 5 days should not cause any harm, but it is important to monitor her symptoms closely and seek medical attention if there are any sudden changes or worsening of chest pain.
