Which arm to measure blood pressure right or left?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Both the arms can be used for BP measurement and sometimes, your doctor might take two readings from two arms to check for any variations too. Generally, it's best to take your blood pressure from your left arm if you are right-handed.

View allI've been jogging regularly and watching my diet, but my triglycerides are at 240. What more can I do to bring down those levels naturally?
To help lower your triglyceride levels naturally, you can consider taking Omega-3 fatty acids supplements. I recommend taking Fish Oil capsules, 1000mg twice daily with meals. Additionally, you can try incorporating more fiber into your diet by taking Psyllium husk powder, 5 grams once daily with a full glass of water. Lastly, you can also try Niacin (Vitamin B3) supplements, starting with 250mg daily and gradually increasing to 500mg daily. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplements.

I'm feeling a bit confused and worried because I recently had some tests done. My TMT came back mildly positive, but my CT angiography, ECG, and echocardiogram all showed normal results. What could be the main reason for the TMT result? Could there be other factors affecting it? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this.
TMT (Treadmill Test) showing mildly positive results could indicate a possibility of coronary artery disease. However, since the CT angiography, ECG, and echocardiogram are all normal, other factors could be contributing to the mildly positive TMT result. These factors may include false-positive results, underlying medical conditions such as hypertension, or medication interference. To address the mildly positive TMT result and rule out any potential issues, your doctor may recommend lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management. In some cases, medication like aspirin or statins may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is important to monitor your heart health.

I'm dealing with heart issues and also have diabetes. Can I safely take Ramitorva capsules along with my current medication, Cetanil 10mg?
Yes, you can take Ramitorva capsules (which contain Ramipril and Atorvastatin) along with Cetanil 10mg. Ramitorva helps in controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels, while Cetanil (Cetirizine) is an antihistamine used for allergies. Just make sure to follow the prescribed dosage for each medication.
