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 allIs it normal for my heart rate to drop below 50 when I'm in deep sleep? I've noticed my heart rate goes down to around 45 while sleeping, and it's usually around 55 when I'm just resting. Should I be concerned about this?
Yes, it is normal for the heart rate to decrease during deep sleep. A heart rate of around 45 during deep sleep and 55 at rest is within the normal range for many adults. There is no need to be concerned about this unless you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, or chest pain.

I'm having these episodes of anxiety throughout the day, and even when I'm calm and just doing my usual stuff, it sometimes feels like my heart skips a beat or beats really hard. It freaks me out. I can't tell if it's just the anxiety acting up or if there's something else going on. Any idea what's causing this? I'm really worried.
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations, which can be a common symptom of anxiety. However, it's important to rule out any other underlying medical conditions that may be causing these symptoms. I recommend you try taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg twice daily to help with both the anxiety and palpitations. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms.

I'm dealing with some really scary chest pain right in the middle and opposite of my back and it's making it hard to breathe and I feel so weak. We're in complete lockdown here and I saw a pulmonologist a couple of months ago who put me on some meds like Azithral 500, Digihaler FB200, a flubloc nasal spray, cilapam ls, Clonil, and Hifenact. He said to always continue 2, 4, and 5. But yesterday it got so bad, my left chest and hand weren't working properly, so I rushed to a nearby medical place and they gave me two injections. I got an ECG and chest X-ray done, and both came back normal. I've quit smoking recently, which is good, but I can't find those meds anywhere here. Can you suggest alternatives or anything extra that might help? There's no pulmonologist around and I'm really worried.
