Moderation is key: Honey contains natural sugars, which can impact blood sugar and calorie intake. Excessive sugar may indirectly affect blood pressure.
-
No direct benefits for blood pressure: Honey does not lower blood pressure and should not be used as a treatment.
-
Choose natural honey: Opt for pure, raw honey without added sugars or preservatives.
-
Consult your doctor: Discuss with your healthcare provider if including honey fits your overall plan for managing high blood pressure.
In summary, enjoy honey in small amounts but prioritize your doctor’s advice and maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle.

View allI'm trying to understand my recent ECG results better. It mentions LVH and LAE, and the report says it's moderately abnormal. Can you tell me what that means for me? The ECG also showed a normal sinus rhythm and axis, and my heart rate was 80 BPM. Should I be concerned or take any specific actions?
LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) and LAE (Left Atrial Enlargement) can appear on an ECG due to changes in the electrical activity of the heart caused by the enlargement of the left ventricle and left atrium, respectively. These changes can be detected on an ECG as alterations in the patterns of the electrical signals produced by the heart. In your case, the ECG showing LVH and LAE along with a description of "moderately abnormal ECG" indicates that there are significant changes in the electrical activity of your heart. However, it is positive that the ECG also shows normal sinus rhythm and normal axis, which means that the heart is beating normally and the electrical signals are following the correct pathways. With a heart rate of 80 beats per minute (BPM), it falls within the normal range. To further evaluate the significance of the LVH and LAE seen on the ECG, additional tests such as an echocardiogram may be needed to assess the structure and function of the heart in more detail. In terms of treatment, managing the underlying conditions that may have led to LVH and LAE, such as hypertension or valvular heart disease, is important. Medications like ACE inhibitors or ARBs may be prescribed to help reduce the workload on the heart and control blood pressure. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor your heart health and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

My echo showed mild mitral valve prolapse with trivial mitral regurgitation and trivial tricuspid regurgitation but no mitral stenosis. The doctor said there's a slight issue with my heart valve and prescribed nucoxia, pantocide, amixide, and liv52. They mentioned I'll be okay but I still get symptoms sometimes. Is this condition curable or will I eventually need surgery?
please consult CTVS for better advise.

I'm looking at my ECG report, and it says sinus rhythm with normal complexity, but there's a mention of nonspecific T and ST wave abnormality. Should I be concerned about this? What does it really mean for my health?
