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 allI'm having some neck and shoulder pain and got an ECG done. The results mentioned something called "middling left axis deviation." Can you explain what this might mean?
Due to neck and shoulders pain, the ECG showing middling left axis deviation may indicate a possible heart condition. It is recommended to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief.

I've had an Acute MI back in January 2019, and they did angioplasty within two days of the attack. Right now, I'm taking Vymada 59, Ecosprin 75, Brilinta 90, Eptus T 2510, Atocor 40, and Seloken XL 50. Everything's been mostly fine, but I do sometimes get breathless, have palpitations, feel dizzy, and even experience less alertness. I'm really curious about a few things: - What's the likelihood that my ejection fraction will increase? - How long can I expect to live with my condition and current treatment? - Are there any known long-term side effects of these medications on other parts of the body, and how can I minimize any negative effects? - My doctor mentioned considering an AICD. Would that help improve my ejection fraction? - What are some potential downsides to getting an AICD?

Chest pain on the left side has been bothering me on and off for the past week. I'm dealing with a lot of work stress and only getting around 6 hours of sleep a night. My evening meal times are all over the place too. I'm not having any issues with breathing or moving around, but I can't help but wonder what's causing this discomfort. Could you tell me what might be going on and if I need to get any tests or X-rays done?
once get your ECG done as a screening for cardiac issues,if it turns out to be normal, General physician consultation would help you.
