Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week without increasing their risk of heart disease. Some studies have shown that this level of egg consumption may even help prevent certain types of stroke.

View allI'm really worried about my blood pressure, which is at 8065. I feel so weak and am considered underweight, weighing only 39.2 kg at a height of 5'3". I'm currently taking Health OK multivitamins to help with my low blood pressure, but I'm anxious if these numbers will ever get to normal. Do you think I'll be able to achieve a normal heart rate, or is this something I'll have to deal with forever? I'm only 20, so this has me pretty concerned.
Low blood pressure can be concerning, especially if it is causing symptoms like weakness. In your case, being underweight may also contribute to low blood pressure. To help increase your blood pressure and improve your symptoms, you can try increasing your salt and fluid intake, wearing compression stockings, and eating frequent small meals. To address your anxiety and support your heart rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg once daily, which can be adjusted as needed under medical supervision. It's important to continue monitoring your blood pressure and heart rate regularly, and make lifestyle changes to support your overall health. If you have persistent concerns or symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 24-year-old woman weighing 37kg and my resting heart rate is usually between 120-130bpm, sometimes going up to 134bpm. This has been happening for the past 5 years but I don't have any other health issues or discomfort because of it. Should I be worried about this high heart rate? Could it be dangerous or lead to problems later? I really don't want surgery can this be managed with medicines instead? Does homeopathy work for something like this?
A consistently high resting heart rate (over 100 bpm) like yours (120-130 bpm) should be investigated by a doctor. While it might not be immediately dangerous, it could indicate an underlying issue that needs attention, and can potentially lead to complications later. Medications are often used to manage high heart rate, and homeopathy is not a reliable or scientifically proven treatment for such conditions, according to the Mayo Clinic and the British Heart Foundation.

Can my dad take Metloc and Telmisartan at the same time? I'm worried because he forgot to tell the doctor that he's already taking Telmisartan. Should I be concerned about any interactions or side effects from combining these medications?
Metoprolol is a beta-blocker and Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker. They can be safely taken together to manage high blood pressure. The usual dosage of Metoprolol is 25-100mg twice daily, and Telmisartan is typically taken at a dosage of 40-80mg once daily.
