I'm getting palpitations after just one drink of alcohol and my ECG results show something about a QRST contour abnormality and possible inferior myocardial damage. What should I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Based on your symptoms and ECG findings, it is important to avoid alcohol consumption. You should also consider taking medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your palpitations and protect your heart. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like Aspirin (75-150mg) to reduce the risk of further myocardial damage. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allMy dad experienced some chest pain and his blood pressure was pretty high last night, so we decided to get an ECG done this morning. The results are in, and they mention something about a non-specific T wave abnormality. I'm trying to figure out what that means exactly. Any chance you could help us understand this a bit better?

I've been experiencing some weird symptoms lately that have me feeling pretty uneasy. I'm 23 and for a few months now, I've noticed some strong palpitations in my chest. It's especially strange because they often happen around noon, and I've even felt my whole body shake with my heartbeat when I'm trying to sleep. I've already had an ECG and ECHO done, and everything seemed normal. My mobile app is showing a fast heart rate around noon, too. On top of all this, I've been dealing with gas problems and quite a bit of anxiety. What do you think could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and tremors due to anxiety and gas problems. To help with your symptoms, I recommend the following: - For palpitations and fast heart rate, you can take Propranolol 20mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. - For anxiety, you can try taking Alprazolam 0.25mg as needed to help manage your anxiety symptoms. - For gas problems, you can take Simethicone 125mg after meals to help relieve gas and bloating. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages and consult with your doctor before starting any new medication. It's also important to practice stress-reducing techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness, to help manage your anxiety symptoms.

I'm really concerned because over the last three months, I've been noticing that my heart occasionally skips a beatit happens about an hour a day. My blood pressure is also around 14090. I've had some tests done, like an echo and a Holter monitor, and my doctor mentioned something about trivial mitral regurgitation. Should I be worried about this and the skipped heartbeats? What does all of this mean for my heart health?
Trivial mitral regurgitation is a common finding and usually does not cause any symptoms or require treatment. As for the skipped heart beats, if they are occasional and not causing any other symptoms, they may not be concerning. However, since you are experiencing them frequently, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to manage your symptoms by reducing stress and anxiety. If your doctor deems it necessary, they may prescribe medications such as beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help regulate your heart rate and blood pressure. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for further management.
