My dad used to have really good stamina, but lately, he seems to get super tired and starts breathing heavily even after just a little bit of work. What could be going on with him? Should we be worried about this sudden change?

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 feeling some palpitations over the past week, but didn't worry too much since my heart rate seemed okay and I was experiencing a lot of reflux. I thought they might be ectopic beats. However, today something came up that mentioned atrial flutter. Could you please take a look and confirm if that's correct? I know machines sometimes make mistakes with these readings and it's got me a bit concerned.

Atrial flutter is a type of arrhythmia characterized by a rapid and regular heart rhythm, and it can sometimes be misdiagnosed by automatic ECG readings. Given your symptoms of palpitations and the recent diagnosis, it's crucial to have this evaluated by a healthcare professional. An atrial flutter diagnosis should be confirmed by a cardiologist through a thorough review of your ECG and possibly additional tests such as a Holter monitor or an electrophysiological study. Its important not to ignore these symptoms, as atrial flutter can increase the risk of stroke and other complications. Please schedule an appointment with your cardiologist to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options.
