I'm trying to figure out if it's safe to include curd or milk in the diet for someone with high triglycerides and high LDL cholesterol. Is there any benefit or should they be avoided?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For individuals with high triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, low-fat or fat-free milk and curd can be a better option, as they are lower in saturated fats and calories compared to full-fat dairy products; however, it's essential to choose unflavored, unsweetened, and low-lactose options to minimize added sugars and calories.

View allI'm really concerned about my 17-year-old brother. His blood pressure reading came back as 154 over 90, but his other test results were all normal. What could this mean? Should he start taking medication for it? I'm just trying to figure out what the best course of action is.
for a 17-year-old with a blood pressure reading of 15490, the high blood pressure could be due to various factors such as stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, or genetics. It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly to see if it remains high. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as improving diet and exercise may be enough to lower blood pressure. However, if his blood pressure remains high, medication may be necessary to prevent complications. I recommend starting with lifestyle changes and monitoring his blood pressure closely. If medication is needed, he may be prescribed a medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily.

I'm having some discomfort on my left side, and I've already done an ECG and ECHO 2D, both of which came back normal. My SPO2 level is also above 95. Can anyone help me figure out what might be going on?
It's good that your ECG and ECHO-2D reports are normal and your SPO2 level is above 95. The discomfort on your left side could be due to musculoskeletal issues or gastrointestinal problems. You can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the discomfort. If it's related to gas or indigestion, you can take an antacid like ranitidine (Zantac) before meals. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for these medications. If the discomfort persists or worsens, it's best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
