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.

I'm really concerned about my father's angiography report and was hoping you could take a look. It mentions a 60% lesion in the mid LAD, an 80% lesion in the proximal segment of the LCX, and a 90% lesion in the mid RCA. Does he need an angioplasty, and how many of these blockages should it address?
Whether angioplasty is required depends on a lot of factors. Of course the percentage of narrowing is an important factor. In case your cardiologist has suggested angioplasty it will most likely be necessary. But in case you want to be doubly sure, it will be worth considering a second opinion from another cardiologist.

I've been checking my pulse readings on my device this morning and I'm a bit worried. Should I be concerned about it? Im taking Olmezest 40, Zyloric 100, and S Numlo 2.5. Do those affect my pulse, or is there something else I should be aware of?
Your pulse reading is an important vital sign that can provide insight into your heart health. A normal resting heart rate for adults is typically between 60 to 100 beats per minute. If your pulse reading is consistently outside of this range, it may be a cause for concern and you should consult with a healthcare professional. As for the medications you mentioned, Olmezest 40 is a brand name for olmesartan, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Zyloric 100 is a brand name for allopurinol, often prescribed for conditions like gout. S Numlo 2.5 is a brand name for amlodipine, which is also used to treat high blood pressure. It's important to take these medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to monitor your pulse readings regularly. If you have any concerns about your pulse or overall health, it's best to seek medical advice promptly.
