Q: I am male-48 years and have had a bypass surgery 18 months ago. Can I now run? Can I play cricket?

A:You have had bypass surgery done 18 months back. If you do not have any symptoms then you can take moderate amount of exertion. You can very well go for run and also you can play cricket in moderation. Do not exert yourself too much. If you keep your risk factors under control then you will benefit from this surgery for many years. Also you should be in touch with your cardiologist regularly.
