I've been noticing this weird thing where I can feel my pulse in my fingertips if I press them firmly on something hard. It's not all the time, and it doesn't hurt, but when I grip something and accidentally focus on it, I feel my heartbeatit's like a straight-up pulse. I've talked to a cardiologist and two neurologists about this. One suggested a color Doppler test without fully hearing me out, and the other said not to worry. It's just confusing because, like with a pulse oximeter reading from the finger, I wonder if this is normal. I've done all the heart tests, and they came back clear, but once my blood pressure shot up to 160118 due to stress from an injury. No other issues now, but it's still annoying, and I've consulted two GPs as well. Is this pulse sensation normal, or should I be concerned?

View allI'm feeling this weird pain and burning sensation in my chest, along with some restlessness. It's not happening all the time, but it's definitely concerning. Could you please suggest what might be going on and what I should do about it?
It sounds like you might be experiencing acid reflux or mild gastritis, which can cause chest discomfort and burning. Avoid spicy or oily foods, eat smaller meals, and don't lie down immediately after eating. If the pain persists or worsens, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with this ongoing issue of shortness of breath that just started up recently. It started after I began taking these medicines called Muktavati and Medhavati extra power from Patanjali for my high blood pressure. I was taking one tablet of Muktavati in the morning and one Medhavati at night for about 18 days, stopping on May 21st, 2022. Ever since I stopped, the breathing thing has been happening. What do you think could be going on here? Would really appreciate some guidance.

I've got high cholesterol and I'm wondering if having 1kg of milk daily is okay or if I should cut back. Can you suggest how much milk would be beneficial for my condition?
For high cholesterol, consuming 1kg of milk per day may not be the best approach as it is high in saturated fats which can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels. It is recommended to limit saturated fats in the diet. Instead, focus on a balanced diet that includes low-fat dairy products in moderation. A more suitable option for managing cholesterol levels would be to incorporate plant-based alternatives such as almond milk or soy milk which are lower in saturated fats. Additionally, including foods rich in soluble fiber such as oats, fruits, and vegetables can help lower cholesterol levels. There is no specific dosage of milk recommended for managing cholesterol, but it is advisable to consult with a dietitian for personalized dietary recommendations based on individual health needs.
