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.

I'm recovering from Covid and sometimes I feel my heart racing, so my doctor wants me to get some tests done. I've already finished my ECG and Echo, and I'm wearing this Holter monitor today. Do I need to just hang out at home and keep an eye on things, or can I go about my normal day, like going to work, having meetings, and driving around? If keeping up with my usual routine is doable, is it necessary or could I just relax at home if I wanted to? Let me know what you think!
While the Holter machine is fitted on your body, it is recommended to continue your regular daily activities as usual. You can go to the office, attend meetings, drive, and carry on with your daily routine. There is no need to stay at home and observe yourself during the Holter monitoring. It is important to maintain your usual activities to get an accurate representation of your heart's activity throughout the day. Thank you for providing the information.

I've been tracking my pulse rate and it usually falls between 44 to 60 beats per minute. Sometimes I experience a bit of chest pain but my doctor mentioned it's just gas. My blood pressure ranges between 120 to 140 over 80 to 90. Should I be worried about these pulse rates or the chest pain?
Your pulse rate of 44 to 60 beats per minute is considered bradycardia, which is a heart rate that is slower than normal. Since you are also experiencing chest pain, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take Aspirin 81mg once a day to prevent any clot formation in the heart. Also, you can take Metoprolol 25mg once a day to help regulate your heart rate. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
