View allI'm 26 and in my family, we dont usually include garlic or onion in our meals, but I've been reading about the benefits of garlic and I'm intrigued. I heard it can help reduce bad cholesterol, which I know I have. I've come across Himalaya Lasuna Garlic pills and Himalaya Wellness Pure Herbs Lasuna Cardiac Wellness tablets. Are there any side effects or downside to taking these? Is there something else I should consider? Would taking 1 or 2 pills a day be okay, or should I be consulting a physician first?
-You can consider taking Himalaya Lasuna (Garlic pills) for its potential benefits, like reducing bad cholesterol. However, it's important to consult your physician before starting any new supplement, especially if you have any underlying health condition

I'm a bit worried about what my latest test results mean. It mentions sinus bradycardia with frequent PVCs, but no AV block or ischemic period. Also, my lipid, thyroid, kidney, and liver profiles all came back normal. I've been taking Cordarone 100. Could you explain what all this means for my health, and if there's anything specific I should be doing or watching out for?
SINUS bradycardia with frequent PVC can be managed with medication. Since you are already taking Cordarone 100, which contains Amiodarone, it is likely being used to treat the frequent PVCs. In addition to Cordarone, a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol can also be prescribed to help regulate the heart rate and reduce the PVCs. The dosage of Metoprolol can vary, but a common starting dose is around 25-50mg twice daily. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and adjust the dosage if needed.

I'm a bit concerned about my ECG results. It mentioned "Sinus rhythm and ST Elevation probable normal early repolarization pattern." Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be worried about it?
A sinus rhythm on an ECG indicates that the heart is beating normally. ST elevation with probable normal early repolarization pattern can be a normal variant in some individuals, especially young, healthy individuals. However, it can also be seen in conditions like pericarditis or myocardial infarction. Since I don't have the complete picture of your health and medical history, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.
