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 been having this really awful chest pain for about a month now, and it sometimes feels like my heartbeat is a bit off. After doing a bunch of research, I think it might be esophageal spasms. I went to the ER twice, and they said my EKG and heart monitor were fine. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers, which help with the spasms, but I still cant shake this terrible feeling in my chest. My blood pressure seems okay, it's usually around 120 over 86. I keep feeling my pulse all down my chest and arms, and its been really hard to get any sleep. Could there be something else going on that Im missing?

That could be GERD avoid late night eating and consume bland diet and maintain healthy lifestyle.

I'm 32 and my blood pressure readings came out to be 14890. Is that within the normal range, or should I be concerned? I'm not diabetic, so I'm wondering if I need to see a doctor or if there's something I should do on my own. Could you advise me on this?

I'm really anxious about my recent ECG results. They showed irregular heartbeats and sometimes sinus tachycardia. My doctor mentioned taking Nebi 2.5, but I'm unsure if it's right for me because I don't have blood pressure issues or any other major health problems. Also, I tend to overthink and have anxiety. Is this medication really going to help with my situation? I'm feeling quite torn about starting it. What do you suggest?

Nebivolol (Nebi) 2.5 mg is a beta-blocker often prescribed to manage irregular heartbeats and conditions like sinus tachycardia, and it can also help with anxiety symptoms by slowing the heart rate and reducing palpitations. Since you have anxiety and overthinking issues, Nebivolol might help alleviate these symptoms by controlling your heart rate. However, it's important to follow your doctor's advice and give the medication a try while monitoring your response to it. If you have concerns or experience side effects, discuss them with your healthcare provider. Additionally, consider incorporating anxiety management techniques such as mindfulness, therapy, or relaxation exercises.
