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.

Eggs can be a part of a heart-healthy diet for a 50-year-old male when consumed in moderation. Here are some key points to consider:

  1. Nutritional Benefits:
    Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals that support overall health.

  2. Cholesterol Concerns:
    While eggs contain cholesterol, recent research suggests that for most people, dietary cholesterol has a smaller impact on blood cholesterol levels than previously thought.

  3. Moderation is Key:
    Eating up to one egg per day is generally considered safe for heart health in healthy individuals.

  4. Individual Health Factors:
    If you have existing heart disease, diabetes, or high cholesterol, it's best to consult your doctor for personalized advice.

  5. Balanced Diet:
    Incorporate eggs as part of a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.

If you have specific health conditions or concerns, discussing your diet with a healthcare provider or a dietitian can help tailor recommendations to your needs.

I'm feeling really puzzled and a bit worried about these weird symptoms I've been having. My chest feels heavy on and off, and even though I've had loads of tests like ECG, echo, holter, TMT, and even a C-reactive protein test, everything came back normal. But then there's this pain in my arms and legs, with the left side feeling worse. In the last couple of days, I've also had some breathlessness. Eating and sleeping seem fine. There are these very brief chest pains that feel like an electric shock, just for a second. I've been trying to keep active by walking 5 km daily, but sometimes I find it hard because I get out of breath. What could be going on with me?

echo and angiography is advised,, cardiac opinion

Is there a way to manage mild TR or keep it stable over my lifetime? I'm 30 now and I'm really wondering how I can handle this situation.

For mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the focus is usually on managing any underlying conditions that may be causing the TR. In most cases, mild TR does not require specific treatment and can be managed by addressing the underlying cause. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In some cases, medications such as diuretics or ACE inhibitors may be prescribed to help manage symptoms or prevent the condition from worsening. However, the specific treatment plan will depend on the underlying cause of the TR and should be determined by a healthcare professional. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is important to monitor the condition and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. If you have any concerns or notice any changes in your symptoms, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
