Smoking and drinking are usually not allowed after heart bypass surgery.
Heart bypass surgery is traumatic, and during recovery the body’s immune system will be weakened and weaker, so it is important to take good care of yourself in all aspects.
Cigarettes contain harmful ingredients, such as nicotine, which can cause coronary vasoconstriction, and carbon monoxide, which can lead to tissue hypoxia and subsequent coronary artery spasms, all of which may increase the risk of cardiovascular morbidity, so it is important to avoid smoking during the recovery period.
Alcohol is a stimulant that can irritate the body and cause the heart to beat faster, increasing the pressure on the location of the heart stent, so alcohol should also be avoided.
In addition to avoiding smoking and drinking after heart bypass surgery, you should also avoid eating oily, spicy and stimulating foods and rest more, not to exert yourself, so as not to affect the recovery. If there are any abnormal symptoms during the recovery period, go to the hospital in time.
