Angioplasty with stent placement was done on me about 2 years ago. I'm on a daily South Indian diet and I'm curious if you could help recommend an ideal diet plan that's still in line with South Indian cuisine. We usually cook with unrefined Gingelly oil, and I'm wondering if that's a healthy choice or if I should be considering a different type of oil. Any advice?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with hypertension for the past 8 years, and now she's caught a cold and has a cough. The doctor recommended she take Azithromycin 500 for five days. My question is, is it okay for her to mix this antibiotic with her blood pressure meds? I'm not sure if there's any interaction or something that we should be concerned about.
