I'm 27 and dealing with a bit of high BP, around 14082. I'm planning to have intercourse for the first time and I'm worried about how it'll go. I consulted a sexologist who suggested taking Duralast 30 mg once a week to help increase the duration of the act. He mentioned it's safe even with my high BP, but I'm still a bit unsure about it. Is it really okay to use this with my condition?

It's understandable to have concerns, especially with your blood pressure in mind. Duralast (which typically contains dapoxetine) is generally safe for most people with high blood pressure when used as prescribed. However, it's always important to follow your doctor's advice closely and monitor your BP regularly. If you experience any issues, don't hesitate to consult your doctor again.

I've got high cholesterol and I'm wondering if having 1kg of milk daily is okay or if I should cut back. Can you suggest how much milk would be beneficial for my condition?

For high cholesterol, consuming 1kg of milk per day may not be the best approach as it is high in saturated fats which can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels. It is recommended to limit saturated fats in the diet. Instead, focus on a balanced diet that includes low-fat dairy products in moderation. A more suitable option for managing cholesterol levels would be to incorporate plant-based alternatives such as almond milk or soy milk which are lower in saturated fats. Additionally, including foods rich in soluble fiber such as oats, fruits, and vegetables can help lower cholesterol levels. There is no specific dosage of milk recommended for managing cholesterol, but it is advisable to consult with a dietitian for personalized dietary recommendations based on individual health needs.

I'm really worried about my heart. I've been having heart palpitations for the past six months, and it's happened six times already. Just a few days ago, I woke up with my heart racing at 159 BPM. I went for an ECG, and the report said Sinus tachycardia with a heart rate of 139. My cardiologist said my ECHO 2d test was normal and prescribed me Cardarone 100mg and Petril Beta 10 for a month. But just two days ago, it happened again - I woke up with a rapid heartbeat of 125 BPM. I went for another ECG, and that one was normal, too. I even did a thyroid profile test, and it came back normal. When I'm trying to sleep, I can hear my heart pounding so loudly, and if I lie on my chest, it feels even worse. It's really uncomfortable. What should I do now? Should I stay on the medicine, or should I go in for more tests?

In your case, since you have already consulted a cardiologist and undergone tests like ECG and 2D ECHO which came out normal, the medications prescribed to you are appropriate for managing your symptoms. You should continue taking TAB Cardarone 100mg and Petril Bata 10 as prescribed by your doctor. TAB Cardarone helps in controlling irregular heartbeats, while Petril Bata helps in reducing anxiety which can sometimes exacerbate palpitations. If you are still experiencing discomfort and palpitations, you may consider discussing with your cardiologist about adjusting the dosage of the medications or exploring other treatment options. Additionally, you may benefit from lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, avoiding stimulants like caffeine, and maintaining a healthy sleep routine to help manage your symptoms. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist regularly to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
