View allI'm currently managing my high blood pressure with telvas 40 and my high pulse with ivabradine 5, which I take twice a day. I also have mild asthma. Is it safe for me to switch to telvas beta 50?
No need to change the medicine . U can continue same treatment since tab telma is safer in asthamatic patients..ARBs are the first line medications in asthmatic patients.

My father is 62 and needs a valve replacement but we're worried about open heart surgery. I heard about TAVR or TAVI as an alternative. Can you suggest hospitals in Mumbai that perform this procedure?
Several hospitals in Mumbai offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVI, as an alternative to open-heart surgery for valve replacement. Some of these hospitals include Hiranandani Hospital and Apollo Hospitals. It's important to consult with a cardiologist to determine if TAVR is the right choice for your father, considering his age, overall health, and the specific type of valve disease.

I'm 26 and in my family, we dont usually include garlic or onion in our meals, but I've been reading about the benefits of garlic and I'm intrigued. I heard it can help reduce bad cholesterol, which I know I have. I've come across Himalaya Lasuna Garlic pills and Himalaya Wellness Pure Herbs Lasuna Cardiac Wellness tablets. Are there any side effects or downside to taking these? Is there something else I should consider? Would taking 1 or 2 pills a day be okay, or should I be consulting a physician first?
-You can consider taking Himalaya Lasuna (Garlic pills) for its potential benefits, like reducing bad cholesterol. However, it's important to consult your physician before starting any new supplement, especially if you have any underlying health condition
