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've been having bouts where my heart rate spikes up to 100-105, and I've noticed some mild chest pain with that. When this happens, my heart rate is usually under 100, and my blood pressure is 12680, plus my sugar and thyroid levels are normal. My ECG came back showing sinus tachycardia. Could you guide me on what kind of medicine might help with this?
I cannot view attachments, but given your description of symptomsintermittent high heart rate, mild chest pain, and an ECG showing sinus tachycardiait's important to address these issues carefully. Since your blood pressure and thyroid levels are normal, your symptoms could be related to stress, anxiety, or other non-cardiac causes. Medications such as beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol) may help manage sinus tachycardia and associated symptoms, but these should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, practicing relaxation techniques, and ensuring adequate hydration and sleep can be beneficial. Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan, including whether medication is necessary.

I've been experiencing some weird pricks in my chest over the past few days and it's kind of unsettling. I already had my echo and ECG done and they both came back normal, plus the X-ray showed nothing unusual. Should I be worried at this point, or is it worth getting more tests done to figure out what's going on?
Chest pricks can have various causes, including musculoskeletal issues, anxiety, or even gastrointestinal problems. Since your echo, ECG, and x-ray are normal, it is reassuring that there are no major heart or lung issues. However, if the symptoms persist, it may be helpful to consider other investigations such as a Holter monitor to assess your heart rhythm over a longer period of time, or a stress test to evaluate your heart's function under exertion. Additionally, discussing your symptoms in detail with your healthcare provider can help determine the best course of action.

I've been experiencing some chest pain and it's really hard to take a deep breath. I also have this tingling feeling on the right side of my chest, near the breast area, and it's making me feel really suffocated. What's going on with me?
Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.
