Question 1

is alcohol harmful or helpful for one who has hypercardiomyopathy?  what is helpful to do for this disease?

Accepted Answer

Harmful: Small amounts of alcohol (one drink per day in women) may reduce our bad cholesterol, while more than that can definitely itself harm the heart and elevated blood pressure.  If you have a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy already, alcohol is definitely not good for you, particularly in amounts about the safe drinking limit of one standard drink per day. Your cardiologist can give you advice about meds.

Question 2

how should one minimize alcohol related blackouts?

Accepted Answer

Drink Less !: If a person drinks so much alcohol that they have a blackout, that is likely a real problem. A person may engage in reckless and dangerous behaviors during an alcohol induced blackout, and then not remember what happened. The only thing to do, is to drink less. It is important to be responsible in what we do and what we consume. I had a patient who killed her husband and does not remember doing it.

Question 3

Question 5

are red dots on foot alcohol related?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Red dots can be caused by any number of things. See a foot doctor or dermatologist to figure out what your red dots are.

Accepted Answer
