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.

View allGot my lipid profile test back, and it turns out my cholesterol levels are at 257. I'm pretty concerned about it. Could you let me know what steps I should take to manage this?
With a cholesterol level of 257, consider lifestyle modifications and dietary changes to help lower your cholesterol; aim to increase soluble fiber intake through foods like oats, barley, and fruits, and reduce saturated and trans fats by limiting dairy, red meat, and processed foods; also, incorporate aerobic exercise, stress management, and weight loss

I've been noticing that my blood pressure levels fluctuate between 13090 and 14095, and they tend to be higher in the evenings. I'm currently on Telmisartan 40 mg and take it every morning. I'm a bit worried about whether I should keep the dosage the same or if it would be better to adjust it or even change the medication altogether. What do you think would be the best course of action?
Yes you need a combinantion of medicines,visit general physician for appropriate management and maintain healthy life style

I've been dealing with diabetes for the past 10 years and I've also got high cholesterol. I used to take Tonact TG, which really helped me a lot, but my doctor recently switched me to Ecosprin AV 75. My TMT came back positive, but all my other heart tests, including the CT coronary, were normal. I'm wondering if I can take Tonact TG and Ecosprin 75 separately instead of just using Ecosprin AV 75? I noticed that with Tonact TG, my LDL stays around 70 mgdL and it also boosts my HDL levels more than just taking atorvastatin. Can you help me figure this out?
NO take ecospirin av as it comes in combiantion with blood thinner and you gave arisk as your tmt came out positive,no need to worry ,follow your doctors advice
