Mobile radiation as such is harmful for anyone. it doesnt have any published evidence tht it increases the infection. so it's better to limit mobile usage.

Spirulina capsule is found to be effective in reducing blood cholesterol levels. It contains various amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and small amount of carbohydrates. In usa, it’s prescribed as food supplements. I will like to know current medicines, bp, pulse rate, fasting lipid profile etc prior to advising its use as it has to be individualised. Thank you.

Yes please continue both clopidogrel and ascard 75 mg. These are blood thinners required lifelong after cabg surgery. If discontinued then the risk of graft blockage is high.

Health Query

I dislocated my finger 3 weeks back and was sent to the energy room to get it back in place. The doctor placed it back in place and put a plaster round the hand and told me to keep it for 3 weeks. I opened it 6 days ago and noticed I can bend it but it gets stuck after a certain angle. Like I can bend it back and forth but the place where the dislocation occurred cannot be bent perfectly. Will this be fixed with time or do I need to do something else to get it fixed?

Hernias don't go away on their own. Only surgery can repair a hernia. Many people are able to delay surgery for months or even years. And some people may never need surgery for a small hernia.But we have to look into the details of the problem.

Let's have a detailed discussion to Ensure proper treatment.

Kindly go for a routine post bypass checks where they will do simple blood tests, ecg and echo and find out the cause for your exhaustion. After bypass, one should follow up with the doctor at 1,3,6 and 12 months after surgery and more frequently if you have any symptoms.
