Question

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

I've been noticing this strange sensation in my chest, like a pressure drop or a quick loss of breath with a tingle that spreads. It's been happening a lot over the past year. Heart issues run in my family and my grandpa even has a pacemaker. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What do you think this might be?

I'm looking for other options for Seloken XL 25 mg. Could you suggest alternatives to metoprolol succinate?

Question

Hey there, so my wife had some trouble breathing last Sunday night. We managed to see a doctor by Tuesday, and after doing an ECG, we found out theres this change called ischemia. The doctor said it's not serious and not to worry, and we even did an echo which turned out normal. But they still prescribed ecosprin tabs, and now I'm a bit confused. Is this something I should be really worried about, or can I take it easy since the doc said it's normal? Could this become a serious issue down the line? Is it one of those things that just come and go, or might it stick around for life? She's only 35, and we have no family history of heart problems, so what's up with this? What should we do to make sure her heart stays healthy?
