I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. Normally, it sits around 12090, but every now and then, it'll spike to about 130100, or drop to 10080. It used to be at 10070. I'm trying to find a natural solution and wondering if Ayurveda could help manage this, as I really don't want to be on medication forever. I lead a pretty active lifestyle, and I'm really careful with my diet and regular exercise. What do you think? Is there an alternative approach I could try?

View allI've been wondering about how long it might take for the heart to heal after getting a stent in the main artery at age 48. If the person isnt an alcoholic or diabetic, follows a vegetarian diet, eats very little fast food, but does consume dairy products like curd, malai, and cream, would this kind of lifestyle impact their recovery time? I'm just trying to figure out what factors might affect the healing process.
For most people, stent implantation recovery is fairly quick, with initial healing taking about 4 to 6 weeks and full recovery occurring over the course of 3 to 6 months. Since the person in question has a generally healthy lifestyle and no major risk factors, their recovery should be smooth, but they will still need to follow their cardiologists advice regarding diet, exercise, and medication. Its essential to maintain a healthy diet, continue taking prescribed medications, and regularly follow up with the cardiologist. The doctor will provide personalized advice on when to resume more intense activities, based on progress.

I'm really worried about my dad. He has a stent in his heart, and when we checked his pulse on the oximeter, it showed 5659. He's also taking Concor 5. Could this be something serious?
A pulse rate of 56-59 beats per minute can be considered lower than normal (bradycardia), especially for someone with a history of heart issues like stenting. Concor 5 contains Bisoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. In this case, the low pulse rate could be a side effect of the medication. It is important to monitor his pulse rate regularly and consult with his healthcare provider. If he experiences symptoms like dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, seek medical attention promptly. The dosage of Concor 5 should be reviewed by his doctor to ensure it is appropriate for him.

I've just gotten some test results back and I'm a bit concerned. Most things seem to be in the normal range except for my Vitamin D 25 hydroxy and lipid profile. My Vitamin D 25 hydroxy level is at 32. For my lipid profile, my cholesterol is 206, triglycerides are 337, HDL is 35, LDL is 103.5, and VLDL is 67.5. Should I be consulting a physician or maybe even a cardiologist about this? I'm also curious about what precautions or medications I should consider to help lower my lipid profile and increase my Vitamin D 25 hydroxy levels.
Your vitamin D 25 hydroxy levels are lower than the normal range, and your lipid profile, specifically cholesterol and triglycerides, are elevated. To address these issues, you can take the following steps: 1. For Vitamin D deficiency (25 hydroxy level of 32): - You can take Vitamin D supplements such as "Calcirol" 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, followed by maintenance therapy of "Uprise D3" 60,000 IU once a month. - Spend more time in sunlight as it helps in natural synthesis of Vitamin D. 2. For high lipid profile: - To lower cholesterol, you can take statin medications such as "Atorvastatin" 20mg once daily. - To lower triglycerides, you can take medications like "Fenofibrate" 160mg once daily. - Additionally, focus on a healthy diet low in saturated fats, cholesterol, and simple sugars. - Regular exercise and weight management can also help improve lipid levels. It is advisable to follow up with a physician for further evaluation and monitoring of your lipid profile and vitamin D levels.
