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've noticed over the last couple of days that my blood pressure has been lower than usual. My systolic pressure is hovering between 90 and 100, and the diastolic numbers are around 50 to 60. I'm a bit concerned about what's causing this drop. What might be going on and what should I do about it?

Low blood pressure, with systolic pressure between 90 to 100 mmHg and diastolic pressure between 50 to 60 mmHg, can be caused by various factors, including dehydration, certain medications, heart conditions, endocrine issues, or nutritional deficiencies. To address this, ensure you are well-hydrated and consider consuming a balanced diet with adequate salt intake. Avoid sudden changes in posture, such as quickly standing up from a seated or lying position. It's essential to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your low blood pressure and receive appropriate advice or adjustments to any current medications.

Fluctuating blood pressure readings can be concerning and may be influenced by various factors, including stress, anxiety, diet, and lifestyle habits. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management. In your case, since you are also experiencing anxiety, it is crucial to address both issues. For your fluctuating blood pressure, you can consider taking medications like Amlodipine 5mg for high blood pressure and Propranolol 20mg for anxiety. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare provider for further guidance. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help in managing your blood pressure and anxiety.
