I've had angioplasty with two stents placed back in December 2017. I'm taking Brilinta 90 mg, Carca, Cardace, and Metformin morning and evening, with Ecosprin in the evening. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have my evening dose of medication after having some alcohol. Is this safe or should I be worried about any interactions?

After consuming liquor, it is generally not recommended to take certain medications due to potential interactions. However, based on the medications you are currently taking, it is safe to take the evening dose of Ecosprin (aspirin) after consuming liquor. It is important to avoid alcohol with Brilinta (Ticagrelor) as it may increase the risk of bleeding. It is also advisable to avoid alcohol with Metformin. As for Carca and Cardace, which are likely beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors respectively, it is generally safe to take them with alcohol in moderation. It is always best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

View allI'm experiencing this strange pressure on my chest every time I yawn, and it's making me feel like I need to vomit. There's also some pressure on my neck. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I recommend taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids to help with the chest pressure and vomiting sensation. You can also try taking an H2 blocker like Zantac or Pepcid to reduce stomach acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I've been dealing with anxiety since the pandemic started, and it's been causing my blood pressure to creep up to around 140100. I was on Metasartan 25mg for a while but stopped it following my doctor's advice. All my heart-related tests like TMT, ECHO, ECG, and Troponin have come back normal. I checked my blood pressure a couple of weeks ago over four days, and it was 13084, 10282, 12485, and 12082. This was after stopping the BP meds. Are these readings normal, and should I be worried? My TSH is 2, lipid total is 197, LDL is 124, triglycerides are 244, and HDL is 37. There's no family history of heart issues, and all the elders in my family are pretty healthy, with many living past 70. What do you think?
It is good that your TMT, ECHO, ECG, and Troponin tests were normal. Your blood pressure readings seem to be within an acceptable range, although it is important to monitor them regularly. Considering your lipid profile, you may benefit from lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise to improve your lipid levels. In addition, since you have a history of anxiety disorder, managing stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques or therapy may also help in controlling your blood pressure. If your blood pressure continues to fluctuate or if you have any concerning symptoms, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
