View allI'm really concerned about my husband's heart; his heartbeat is always too fast. He says it's been like this since he was a child. Should I be worried about this?
Hi, if your husband's heart rate is consistently fast, it is important to have him evaluated by a doctor to determine the underlying cause. One common condition that can cause a fast heart rate is supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Medications like Metoprolol (25-100mg) can be prescribed to help control the heart rate. However, a proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

I've just got my health check-up results and a few things look off, particularly my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 189 mgdl and triglycerides are 249 mgdl, with non-HDL cholesterol at 153 mgdl and VLDL cholesterol at 49.8 mgdl. I'm really concerned about how critical these numbers are and what I should be doing next. Is there a particular specialist I should see, or any specific steps you would recommend for someone my age? I'm 30 and just trying to figure out the best way forward.
"Based on your lab results, your Total Cholesterol level is 189 mgdl and Triglycerides level is 249 mgdl, which are both elevated. To address this, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and weight management. In addition to lifestyle changes, you can also consider medication to help lower your cholesterol levels. I suggest consulting with a healthcare provider, such as a cardiologist or a general physician, who can prescribe you a medication like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a suitable dosage to help manage your cholesterol levels. Regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider will be important to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. It's also essential to continue monitoring your lipid profile regularly to track your improvement. Remember, these are just general recommendations based on the information provided. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment."

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with high BP for the last 15 days, even though she regularly takes her medication. About two weeks ago, she woke up with her left eye really red, and the doctors said her BP was at 100180. She's been on Amlopres 5 mg for BP for 25 years and Ecosprin 75 mg to thin her blood for 5-6 years. The doctors recently switched her meds to CTDT 6.2540 mg in the morning and Cildip 5 mg in the evening for BP, along with Clodrel 75 for blood thinning. What could be causing her BP to spike like this, and is there a way to get it under control?
Excessive masturbation (4-5 times a day) can lead to mental fatigue, decreased concentration, and increased stress and anxiety. It can also cause feelings of guilt, shame, and low self-esteem. Desensitization to pleasure and potential erectile dysfunction are possible risks. Additionally, excessive masturbation can negatively impact relationships and daily life. It's essential to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
