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 father is 62 and needs a valve replacement but we're worried about open heart surgery. I heard about TAVR or TAVI as an alternative. Can you suggest hospitals in Mumbai that perform this procedure?
Several hospitals in Mumbai offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVI, as an alternative to open-heart surgery for valve replacement. Some of these hospitals include Hiranandani Hospital and Apollo Hospitals. It's important to consult with a cardiologist to determine if TAVR is the right choice for your father, considering his age, overall health, and the specific type of valve disease.

I'm experiencing this needle-like pain in my chest that comes and goes. Sometimes it's in my arms and hands too. I'm not sure if it's due to stress or something else, but it's been happening for the last 2 to 3 weeks. I've been on TB medication for about 6 months now, and there's also this numbness in my feet. I'm really concerned and need some guidance. I've attached my CECT report. What could be causing these symptoms?
It's important to address chest pain, especially if it is recurrent and accompanied by symptoms like numbness in your feet. Given that you are currently on tuberculosis (TB) medication, some of these medications can have side effects, including peripheral neuropathy, which may explain the numbness in your feet. The needle-like chest pain and discomfort in your arms and hands could be related to several factors, including stress, side effects from your medication, or other medical conditions. I recommend discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider, who may consider further evaluation such as a detailed physical examination, additional blood tests to check for side effects of TB medications, and possibly an ECG or other cardiac tests to rule out any heart-related issues.

I'm really worried because my blood pressure has been super high for the last few hours, reading 197 over 111. I'm feeling a lot of discomfort and it's making me nervous. Could this be hypertension or something else I should be concerned about? What should I do right now?
High blood pressure with readings of 197111 is a cause for concern and may require immediate medical attention. You can take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 10mg to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
