Is rice bad for cholesterol?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Rice as altogether is not either bad or good for cholesterol. White rice has high cholesterol and also it is easily digestible, so one tends to overeat. On the other hand, brown rice is whole grain with low glycemic index, has less cholesterol and more fiber which promotes fullness.

View allI'm a bit worried because about a month ago I started having constant chest pain and it spread to my left shoulder and hand. I got a general checkup and found out my blood pressure was 160100, but my ECG and 2D echo and sugar levels were normal. They did say my triglycerides and uric acid were high, and I have a fatty liver, so I've been on a strict diet for three months, cutting out salt and doing regular walks. After 10 days, my blood pressure dropped to 12080, which I guess is good! My dad and grandpa had heart issues, so I'm a bit concerned if it's hereditary. Right now, Im on Telma 40 and Concor 5mg but since my blood pressure is normal, Im not sure if I should continue with these meds. Also, my left shoulder and chest still hurt. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm really confused right now.
as you have family history you are at risk sooo do not stop them,its because of those medicines your BP is normal,follow healthy lifestyle and do follow your doctors advice

I had an angiography and the doctor recommended bypass surgery but I don't have any pain right now and can manage my daily routine. However, I notice my breath gets heavy after walking 200-300 meters. Can you suggest a good doctor in Mira Road who specializes in this?
To find a good cardiologist in Mira Road specializing in bypass surgery, it's recommended to seek a second opinion from a different cardiologist in the area. You can also search for cardiologists specializing in bypass surgery through online directories like Justdial or Wockhardt Hospitals.

I'm wondering if you can help me understand what's going on with my blood pressure. It's been fluctuating a lot, sometimes shooting up to 180 over 110, and my pulse rate gets really high too. My heart and sugar levels are fine, but this blood pressure issue is worrying me. Do you have any advice or medication suggestions to help stabilize it?
