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 really worried about my mom. She's been taking Telpres 40 for her blood pressure, but it's still 170100. It's been sticking around 150100 for a while now. I'm not sure what to do, could you give some advice?

Along with telpres 40 other medicines need to be added, after clinical evaluation.

I'm having this continuous chest pain since morning, and I think it might be a gas lock. I had dosa this morning, but I've been struggling with this issue for about 10 days now. I've been taking homeopathy, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Could it still just be gas, or do you think it's something else? Should I consider a different treatment?
