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 allMy pulse seems to be at 97 beats per minute. Is that considered high or within the normal range? Could this be a sign of heart disease? I'm really anxious to know more.
A pulse rate of 97 beats per minute is slightly higher than the normal range, which is typically between 60-100 beats per minute for adults. It is not necessarily an indication of heart disease, but it could be a sign of various conditions such as anxiety, dehydration, fever, anemia, or thyroid issues. If you are experiencing other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otherwise, you can try to relax, stay hydrated, and monitor your pulse rate.

I'm a bit worried because my ECG test came back with something called Diagnosed402 pre-excitement syndrome. Is this dangerous? I'm also dealing with hypothyroidism, high eosinophils, and an increased red blood cell count. Can you shed some light on what all this means for my health?
Your ECG findings of pre-excitation syndrome (WPW syndrome) can sometimes lead to dangerous arrhythmias, especially in the presence of other medical conditions like hypothyroidism, elevated eosinophils, and high RBC count. It is important to manage these conditions to reduce the risk of complications. For pre-excitation syndrome, medications like **Procainamide** can be used to control arrhythmias. However, in some cases, a procedure called catheter ablation may be recommended to correct the abnormal electrical pathway in the heart. For hypothyroidism, you may need to take **Levothyroxine** to replace the deficient thyroid hormone. Elevated eosinophils may indicate allergies or parasitic infections, and treatment with antihistamines or anti-parasitic medications may be necessary. High RBC count can be managed by addressing the underlying cause, such as dehydration or lung disease. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I've just had a 2D echo because I was experiencing chest pain, and I'm currently breastfeeding. Could you take a look at the results? I'm really worried about whether mild TR is something to be concerned about. Would love your insight on this situation.
Mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common finding in many people and is often not a cause for concern. However, since you are experiencing chest pain and are a breastfeeding mother, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for chest pain relief.
