I've been having some weird symptoms lately. A few days ago, I woke up with this chest pain and it kinda hurt when I breathed. My inhaler helped a bit, but then yesterday, my blood pressure reading at the dentist was 15074, which is way higher than my usual 120-127 for the systolic part. I'm trying to figure out if I should just make an appointment with my GP or if it's serious enough to hit up urgent care or the ER. What do you think?

I'm wondering if it's normal for my heart rate to go up after I drink alcohol. Is there a medical reason for this, or should I be concerned about it? Can you explain what's going on?

Yes, alcohol consumption can lead to an increase in heart rate. This is because alcohol is a vasodilator, which means it causes the blood vessels to relax and widen. As a result, the heart has to work harder to pump blood throughout the body, leading to an increase in heart rate. Additionally, alcohol can also stimulate the release of certain hormones, such as adrenaline, which can further elevate heart rate. It is important to note that excessive alcohol consumption can have negative effects on the heart and cardiovascular system. If you experience persistently high heart rate after alcohol consumption, it is advisable to limit your intake and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
