Is honey good for high blood pressure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Blood pressure is an important risk factor for heart disease, and honey may help lower it. This is because it contains antioxidant compounds that have been linked to lower blood pressure

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 currently taking 4mg of Acitrom because I had an AVR procedure. My doctor suggested adding Ecosprin 150 mg, but since Ecosprin is also a blood thinner, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about taking both. Could I be at risk for any complications, or is this combination really safe?
Taking Ecosprin 150 mg along with acitrom can increase the risk of bleeding due to their combined blood-thinning effects. It is important to follow your doctor's advice, but if you have concerns, it is best to discuss them with your doctor.

I'm having this ache in my left hand and sometimes it goes numb, it's been going on for about 10 months now. I had an ECG, TMT, and an echo done back in September last year, and everything came back normal. But I can't shake off this anxiety that there might be something wrong with my heart. On top of that, I've been having sharp chest pains every day since last year. What could be causing this and what should I do about it? Please help.
Based on your symptoms and previous tests, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, since your previous cardiac tests were normal, your symptoms could be related to musculoskeletal issues or nerve compression. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the chest pain. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like methocarbamol to help with the ache and numbness in your left hand. It is also advisable to consult with a neurologist for further evaluation and management of the numbness in your hand.
