I've been tracking my health stats lately, and my SGPT level has been at 73, SHOT level at 37, and my cholesterol is reading 211 for the past week. I'm really hoping to get these numbers to a normal range in the next 4 to 5 days. Can you give me some advice on how to make that happen?

-It's important to take a gradual approach to improving SGPT, SGOT, and cholesterol levels. In 4-5 days, it may not be realistic to achieve significant changes, but you can focus on a healthy diet, staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol, and exercising regula

I'm really worried about a family member who's been diagnosed with severe calcific aortic stenosis. Ive heard about treatments like surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any other options out there, like medication or non-surgical approaches, that could help in managing this condition? I'm not very familiar with all the treatment possibilities and just want to explore anything that might be less invasive. What are our options here?

Severe calcific aortic stenosis typically requires surgical intervention, as medications alone are generally insufficient to treat the condition. The primary treatments include surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), depending on the patient's overall health and suitability for surgery. While medications can help manage symptoms and associated conditions such as heart failure or high blood pressure, they do not address the underlying valve obstruction. Consulting with a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon will provide the best treatment plan tailored to the patient's needs.

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. Last night, her resting heart rate on the wrist was showing 5257 while she was sleeping. This morning, I checked her blood pressure with our digital home monitor and it was 95 over 86, with a heart rate of 65. Are these numbers too low, and could something be wrong? Also, how reliable is a home BP monitor for checking these things?

A resting heart rate of 52-57 beats per minute is considered normal for some individuals, especially athletes or those who are physically fit. A blood pressure reading of 9586 mmHg is slightly lower than the normal range, but if your wife is not experiencing any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, it may not be a cause for concern. The heart rate of 65 beats per minute is also within the normal range. Home blood pressure monitors can be reliable if used correctly. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the device, such as positioning the cuff at heart level and ensuring it is the right size for your wife's arm. If your wife is otherwise healthy and not experiencing any symptoms, these readings may not be alarming. However, it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized advice based on her medical history and overall health status.

I've got a CRP level of 55.4 mgL, and I know that's pretty high. I have MVP and MR but no symptoms. What's going on with the CRP? Should I be worried? Any advice on what I should do next?

In the case of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and mitral regurgitation (MR), an elevated CRP level of 55.4 mgl could be due to the presence of inflammation related to these conditions. Since you are not experiencing any symptoms, it is important to monitor your condition closely. To help manage inflammation and potentially reduce CRP levels, you can consider taking anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg twice daily after meals. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet can also help in managing inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your MVP and MR, as they can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual health status.
