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

  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 currently taking 50 mg of metoprolol succinate because I had high blood pressure around a month ago, with readings peaking at 150100. Lately, my 24-hour average blood pressure is about 11070, but every 5 to 6 days it suddenly spikes to 14090. Is this something normal, or should I think about adjusting my dose?

It's good to hear that your average blood pressure has improved with the current medication. Occasional spikes in blood pressure can happen despite treatment. In your case, since the spikes occur every 5 to 6 days, it may be worth discussing with your healthcare provider about potentially increasing the dose of metoprolol succinate to better control these spikes. An adjustment in dosage or adding another medication may be considered to maintain more stable blood pressure levels.

I've been experiencing some mild chest pain for about a month now. There hasn't been any coughing, fever, or cold symptoms, but the pain is located near my left breast. Occasionally, I also feel pain in my left arm and shoulders. Sometimes I struggle to breathe normally, and it often feels like something's stuck in my throat. What's going on with me?

Ecg and x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my incomplete RBBB turning into a complete RBBB in the future. Are there treatments like an angiogram or angioplasty that can help prevent this from happening? Is there any way to make my RBBB go back to normal, like it was before, so there's no block at all?
