Can you drink or smoke with a Heart Defect?

I have repaired Pulmonary Artresia and was wondering what would happen if I drank alcohol or smoked?

I dont exactly want to, i was just curious. Im not a idiot lol
Thanks for your help ;-)

NO on the smoking but ask your doctor about the alcohol in medicinal amounts. (daily glass of wine,etc)

Why? Is it worth finding out? You've been given a second chance at life so if you don't mind me saying, throw the smokes and booze out the window.

Smoking closes up your arteries, so it would put you at a higher risk, ask you doctor about drinking in moderation.

Sheesh, I just quit smoking after 2 years of trying because I was getting pinched pains in my heart, and feeling dizzy. Alcohol is just bad for you, the heart least of all, raises blood pressure I hear. I wouldn't drink if I were you on GP, and smoking, with your heart condition would kill you in about 2.5 years, Quitting took me 2 years too.

NO

sure you can, why not stab youself in the eye with a 6inch stilleto while your at it then shoot yourself in the foot!

When you smoke it raises your heart rate and when you drink your blood pressure raises also dont risk it its not that great anyway im sure your smart enough to find out how to have fun in another way stay safe good luck

You can do anything you want with or without heart problems . The question is how soon before it does you in for good . Not long, trust me .

Did you do the repair yourself? Oh, you had a Dr., maybe a surgeon, any reason you don't ask them? Might give better advice than a web surfer.

Smoking- never! Moderate drinking associated with better cognition in women.

You are thinking about smoking and drinking that is a negative indication.
