Question
I underwent catheterization 3 months ago due to arrhythmia. During the catheterization, a blockage of 90-95% was found in the right artery. The blockage was opened and a stent was placed. Now I feel well and am on medication. Is it permissible for me to fast as usual?
Answer
Hello
You should consult with a doctor about the amount of fluids you need to drink throughout the day and divide the drinking into 'portions'.
'Portion drinking' means drinking about 40 cc each time, with a 9-minute interval between drinks.
