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?

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.

I'm trying to make sense of my recent test results. The CT angiography came back normal, but my treadmill test is mildly positive. I don't have any chest pain, my blood sugar is normal, and my lipid profile is good, but I do have high blood pressure. What does this all mean? Should I be worried about the mildly positive TMT even though everything else seems fine? What should be my next steps?

TMT showing mild positive results without chest pain could indicate a potential issue with the heart's blood supply. Since your CT angiography is normal and other parameters like blood sugar and lipid profile are also normal, it's important to focus on managing your blood pressure to reduce the risk of any further heart-related issues. You can start taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help control your blood pressure effectively. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is essential to ensure it stays within a healthy range.
