I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was moderately high a month ago, and now I'm taking Natrilix, 1.5 mg Indapamide. Is it safe for me to have a can of beer every six months, or should I be concerned? I came across some stuff online that's got me scared, and my doctor is currently out of the country.

I'm looking over my wife's yearly ECG report and I'm a bit worried about the results. It mentions "borderline" and lists some parameters like a rate of 89, sinus rhythm, and normal P AxisV rate. It also says something about short PR intervals and gives a bunch of numbers, like PR 105 and QRS 80. Im not sure what these mean. Do you think this calls for more tests or should I be concerned about anything specific?

I've had an angioplasty with a drug-eluting stent placed back in March, and I'm currently on medication. I'm really wondering if it's okay for me to have alcohol socially. I used to enjoy whiskey about twice a week before all of this. Can you give me some advice on whether that's still safe?

After angioplasty with a drug-eluting stent, moderate social alcohol consumption is generally allowed, but consult your cardiologist first; if permitted, limit whiskey consumption to 1-2 units (30-60ml) per occasion, 1-2 times a week, and prioritize medications, healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management for optimal heart health.
