I had bye pass (4CABG) 14 months back. All medicines are on. Is regular alcohol consumption (60ml) good or bad
Question:
After one year I repeated the angio and found 2 more block 60-70% have developed both after the bye pass. Additional medication have been prescribed. Follows diet/medicines/walks religiously. Pain still continues. Doctors have ruled out danger as the blocks are at the terminal points. Looks Iike I have to live with this kind of pains. I was a very good athlete till the age of 25 and after I started working I became a chain smoker. I am off smoking for the last 14 months. My age is 56.
Answers:
BAD...
If you read the meds, alcohol does not mix and bad reactions could happen - from the meds not working to working like an OD, to forming a poison. I am not talking about the drinking of alcohol and pills at the same time - I mean the alcohol that is in your bloodstream with the meds.
THIS IS STUFF YOU DON'T GET TO HAVE ANYMORE. Alcohol is a big NO-NO.
That means beer, wine, coolers, hard liquor.cold medicines
do not start other form of alcohol except red wine two smoll page .

Gosh, this sounds like a question for a medical professional, which I am not. I have heard that drinking moderate amounts of red wine can increase your HDL (good cholesterol) level, which also helps prevent the blockage of the arteries that seem to plague you. Recent studies also indicate that reducing your total calorie intake by 30-40% also has a dramatic affect on your HDL and on longevity.
So I would recommend to drink moderately (one to two drinks daily) as long as the alcohol consumption doesn't interfere with any medication you are on. But as always, consult your physician before trusting your life with an unqualified stranger like myself.
Alchol consumption s very good for health especially after surgery it will make u relax ur tensions so take as much as u can...so that u can see the god soon.
Drinking too much alcohol can raise the levels of some fats in the blood (triglycerides). It can also lead to high blood pressure, heart failure and an increased calorie intake. (Consuming too many calories can lead to obesity and a higher risk of developing diabetes.) Excessive drinking and binge drinking can lead to stroke. Other serious problems include fetal alcohol syndrome, cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death.
American Heart Association Recommendation:
If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. This means an average of one to two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women. (A drink is one 12 oz. beer, 4 oz. of wine, 1.5 oz. of 80-proof spirits, or 1 oz. of 100-proof spirits.)
I had a (4wayCABG) 10 years ago one year after the surgery need two stints then I was and have been just fine. A little red wine is good but stay off the rest of it. My Doctor has me on Lipator, 1 baby asprin, Lixinopril 20mg and 2,000units of Niacin.
