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 allI'm having this issue where I feel chest tightness when I'm lying on my back, but it's fine when I sleep on my side. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be related to anxiety or some other health issue? I'm really worried and need some guidance.
Chest tightness when lying on your back that improves when you sleep on your side could be related to several factors, such as musculoskeletal issues, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or anxiety. To determine the cause, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider. They can perform a thorough evaluation and may suggest lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding large meals before bedtime, elevating the head of your bed, or addressing anxiety through relaxation techniques or therapy. Your doctor can also rule out any serious cardiac or pulmonary conditions.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure being 14090. Is that considered high? I've just turned 30, weigh 72 kg, and Im already taking rozavel 10 for dyslipidemia. Should I get on some medication for this, or could lifestyle changes do the trick? I do exercise daily for 20 minutes and eat less outside food and salt. What do you think?

I'm really confused about what's going on with my health. My ECG came out normal, but I've been wondering if I should get a Stress ECG or maybe a Stress ECHO done instead. I've been on Petril Beta 10 twice a day for anxiety for about four months now, but for the past month, I've been getting dizzy, and it's worse when I'm around loud noises or music. My parents think its just anxiety because that's what the local doctor said, but there are times when I feel breathless, like I'm not getting enough air. I had an ECG, ECHO, and Stress ECG along with some blood tests done back on June 30, and the doctors said everything is fine. Its been around 6.5 months of treatment and I'm still not feeling as healthy as before, which is worrying me a lot. Plus, for the past couple of months, I've had this dry cough that just comes and goes. I really need some advice on how to figure out what's going on.
It's good that your ECG, ECHO, and Stress ECG results came back normal. Since you are still experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, breathlessness, and dry cough, it may be beneficial to undergo a Stress ECHO to further evaluate your heart function under stress conditions. In the meantime, for your anxiety, continue taking Petril Beta 10 twice daily. To address your dizziness, your doctor may consider adjusting your medication dosage or prescribing medications like Betahistine. For your dry cough, you can try over-the-counter cough suppressants like Benadryl Cough Formula. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants that may trigger your cough. Follow up with your doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
