I had a cardiac arrest back in 2007 and they found 25% blockage after an angiography at the hospital in Mumbai. Lately, for the last 15 days or so, I've been feeling weak pretty regularly. Had a Doppler and 2D echo test done in Jodhpur recently, and the doctor told me my heart is working at only 20%. I'm really concerned about this. What should I do next?

View allI'm a 46-year-old guy who's a bit on the heavier side. I've always been healthy, but lately, they've told me I've got hypertension. I'm not a fan of allopathic medicine because I'm worried about the long-term side effects. Do you have any natural treatment options for dealing with hypertension?

I've got a blocked artery and I've just had a stent put in. I know I should avoid oil, butter, ghee, and paneer - so I've cut those out of my diet. But here's the thing, I really love rice. My wife says it's not good for me either. Can you tell me if it's okay to have a bowl of rice now and then?
Dear user, regarding your question about including rice in your diet after being diagnosed with a blocked artery and having a stent placed, it is important to focus on a heart-healthy diet. You can still enjoy rice in moderation. Opt for whole grain rice like brown rice or wild rice, and limit the portion size to about 12 to 1 cup per meal. It is also recommended to pair rice with plenty of vegetables and lean protein. Additionally, you can incorporate foods rich in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, into your diet to promote heart health. Remember to follow your doctor's advice and medication regimen for optimal recovery and management of your condition

I've been feeling this needle-like pain in my left chest that started a couple of nights ago while I was asleep and it lasted about 10 minutes. Afterward, I started getting these intermittent pin-pricking pains on both sides of my chest. Now I'm even feeling some discomfort in my back and mild pains in my left shoulder and arms, which sometimes shift to the right side. Im already dealing with a breathing problem and recently noticed some chest tightness. I dont feel tired or dizzy, but I do have a stomach ulcer. I'm really worried this could be some kind of heart attack or angina. What should I do?
Neurologist opinion.
