I'm having some trouble with leg pain when I try to climb stairs, even just to the first floor. The pain seems to be worse in my calf muscle and I end up feeling really tired afterward. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a sign of a bigger issue, and what might help ease the pain?

I've been keeping an eye on my triglycerides levels, which are currently at 230, and my HDL is at 28. We usually cook with mustard oil at home. I've heard some conflicting info about it building up triglycerides around the heart. Is mustard oil actually heart-friendly, or should I be considering other options for cooking? I'm really hoping for some guidance on this.

Mustard oil is not recommended for individuals with high triglyceride levels as it may contribute to an increase in triglycerides. It is advisable to switch to healthier cooking oils such as olive oil or canola oil, which are beneficial for heart health. Additionally, incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts can help improve your lipid profile.

I'm really worried about my dad he's just 43 and had a heart attack about a month and a half ago. They did an angioplasty and put in a stent, but now the doctor says one of his heart valves isn't working right and needs replacing. His heart is only working at 30% right now. Is it safe for him to go through a bypass surgery at this point, and if he does, how long can we expect him to live after that?

Atleast for a year any surgeries contraindicated.
