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.

Had open heart surgery with a bental procedure back in August 2014 and now dealing with seroma pinna swelling and fluid buildup in my outer ear. The doctor suggested either needle drainage or surgery, but I'm on daily warfarin 10mg. Is it safe to go ahead with either option given the blood thinners?
yes, can use blood thinner.

I'm a bit concerned because I was on medication for blood pressure until November, but stopped after my doctor said my BP levels were normal. It's been fine for the past five months, but now I notice my home readings are at 13898. I've had 500 ml of beer each day for the last two days before this reading. Should I be worried about this change, or is there something I can try before considering going back on medication?
It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially after noticing an increase like 13898. Since you have a history of high blood pressure and recent alcohol consumption, it's advisable to take action to lower your blood pressure. You can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can consider taking medication again as prescribed by your doctor to help control your blood pressure. If these measures do not lower your blood pressure, it's essential to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
