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 just found out that my high sensitive CRP levels are elevated, and my triglycerides are up as well. I'm also dealing with diabetes. Should I be worried about the risk of heart issues since I haven't had any so far?

High sensitive CRP, elevated triglycerides, and diabetes are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. It is important to manage these conditions to prevent future heart problems. To help lower your high sensitive CRP and triglyceride levels, as well as manage your diabetes, you can take medications like Atorvastatin for cholesterol, Metformin for diabetes, and Aspirin for cardiovascular protection. It is also important to follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and monitor your blood sugar levels closely. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
