My dad's been having this ongoing chest and left-hand pain for about a month now. He saw a doctor who said it was some kind of gastro issue, and the meds worked while he was on them. But ever since he finished the course, the pain's come back. What could be going on and what should we do next?

View allI'm a bit worried because every time I laugh, my chest hurts for a short while. I had COVID back in April and was in quarantine for 16 days. I hadn't smoked or had any drinks for a month after that, but I've started again recently. Could this be causing the chest pain?

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's 48 and dealing with high blood pressure and slightly elevated LDL cholesterol levels. Could you recommend the best type of cooking oil for her health situation? Is refined oil better or should she stick to something like pure mustard oil? Also, is it okay for her to include around 30 grams of peanuts in her daily diet, or would that not be advisable?
For your mother's health condition with high blood pressure and high LDL cholesterol, it is recommended to use oils that are heart-healthy. Olive oil is a good option as it is rich in monounsaturated fats which can help improve cholesterol levels. Another good option is canola oil, which is low in saturated fat and high in monounsaturated fats. As for mustard oil, it is also a good choice due to its high levels of monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, which can be beneficial for heart health. However, it is important to use mustard oil in moderation as it has a strong flavor and may not be suitable for all dishes. Incorporating 30gm of peanuts in your mother's diet can be beneficial as they are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Peanuts can help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease when consumed in moderation. Overall, a combination of olive oil, canola oil, and mustard oil in moderation, along with incorporating peanuts in her diet, can be beneficial for your mother's health condition.
