I'm curious about homeopathy as a treatment for blocked arteries and was wondering if it's effective? I've also noticed a burning sensation in my feet and hands and I'm scared if it's related. Could you shed some light on this and recommend what I might do?

I've had two stents placed and been on heart and BP meds for about a year now. After surgery, my dietitian said to avoid juices and dry fruits and limit myself to one fruit a day. Now that it's been a while, I'm wondering what kind of diet I should be following can I relax these restrictions or should I stick to them? What's safe for someone like me?
Limit the amount of saturated fat you eat. It is not just about the total fat content of the diet, but also the type of fat in the diet. Try to avoid eating foods that are high in saturated fat. Foods that are high in saturated fat include meat pies, sausages, butter, cream, hard cheese, cakes, biscuits and foods that contain coconut or palm oil. Eating foods that are high in unsaturated fat can help to reduce your cholesterol level. Foods high in unsaturated fat include oily fish (such as herring, mackerel, sardine, salmon), avocados, nuts and seeds, sunflower, rapeseed and olive oil. Reduce you salt intake. Many foods contain hidden salt. Lowering your salt intake can reduce your risk of another MI and also other cardiovascular diseases

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 78 over 140 is normal or if its on the high side. Should my dad see a doctor or maybe start some medication? Just to mention, he was feeling a bit under the weather with a common cold when the doctor measured this.
A blood pressure reading of 14078 is considered elevated and may indicate hypertension. It is advisable for your father to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. Depending on the assessment, the doctor may prescribe medications such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower the blood pressure. It is important to follow up with the doctor for monitoring and adjustment of the treatment plan as needed.
