I had a peg of whiskey around 7 PM after not drinking for a while, and now I'm due to take my metocard xl 25. I'm a bit concerned about whether it's safe to take it right now. Can you advise on this?

It is not recommended to take metocard xl 25 (Metoprolol) after consuming alcohol, as it can increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting. It is best to wait at least 24 hours after consuming alcohol before taking metocard xl 25.

Question 3

I'm really worried because my HDL is 38, and I've heard that kind of level can lead to heart disease. I'm feeling pretty scared about it and could really use some guidance. What can I do to improve it?

Accepted Answer

To improve your HDL level, you can make lifestyle changes such as: - Engaging in regular physical activity - Eating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats - Quitting smoking if you smoke - Limiting alcohol intake In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may also prescribe medications to help increase your HDL level. One such medication is Niacin (Vitamin B3), which can help raise HDL levels. The typical dosage for Niacin is 500-2000 mg per day, but it is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage. Remember to consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication or making significant lifestyle changes.

Based on the description of your symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The combination of heart pain, lower shoulder and back pain, heavy breathing, constant fatigue, and occasional nausea could be indicative of a serious underlying condition.

Question 5

My mom's been feeling really heavy in her chest and super tired since like 4 in the morning today. She doesn't have any heart issues, but she does sometimes deal with gastric problems. She also has thyroid. Could this be related to that, or do you th...

Accepted Answer

Based on the symptoms described, it is possible that your mother is experiencing acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend she take an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg to help relieve the symptoms. She can take 2 tablets as needed, but not exceeding 7 tablets in 24 hours. It is also important for her to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can trigger acid reflux. Additionally, given her history of thyroid issues, it is important to ensure that her thyroid levels are well-controlled as thyroid imbalances can sometimes contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms. I recommend she follow up with her healthcare provider to discuss her symptoms and thyroid management.

Question 6

I've got some fluctuating blood pressure issues, and sometimes my readings go up to 150 over 90. Is it safe for me to take Covishield when my blood pressure is high?

Accepted Answer

Covishield is safe to take for individuals with high blood pressure. It is important to control your blood pressure to reduce the risk of complications. You can take Covishield as recommended by your healthcare provider.
