  1. Moderation is key: Honey contains natural sugars, which can impact blood sugar and calorie intake. Excessive sugar may indirectly affect blood pressure.

  2. No direct benefits for blood pressure: Honey does not lower blood pressure and should not be used as a treatment.

  3. Choose natural honey: Opt for pure, raw honey without added sugars or preservatives.

  4. 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.

I'm feeling dizzy lately, and I've noticed my blood pressure readings are consistently around 11665. It's been like this for the past 3 to 4 days. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

A blood pressure reading of 11665 mmHg is within the normal range, but experiencing dizziness for 3-4 days warrants further evaluation; consider consulting a doctor to rule out underlying causes of dizziness, such as dehydration, inner ear issues, or medication side effects, and to assess your overall health.

Ive been noticing that when I lie down, especially on my side, I can really feel my heartbeat, and it's hard to focus on anything else. What could be causing this? Any advice would be appreciated.

Feeling your heartbeat more prominently when lying down, especially on your side, can be due to a condition called palpitations. This can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and reducing caffeine consumption may also help.
