Cucumbers are a good source of potassium. Drinking cucumber water helps your body get more potassium, potentially helping to lower your blood pressure.

Question

I'm dealing with CAD and recently found out from my CT Angio test that there's a 60-70% blockage in my LDA artery. I've been reading up on EECP and Bio Chemical Angioplasty online, and I've talked to some folks who've undergone EECP. I'm trying to figure out if it's actually effective. Also, do you know what medication is used in Bio Chemical Angioplasty? And once I've gone through it, how long can I expect the blockage to stay away?

Question

I'm managing my diabetes pretty well, but I've been taking Stresnil for sleep issues. I started with 0.25mg, which worked okayI'd get about 5 hours of sleep. Because the 0.25mg wasn't available recently, I've switched to 0.5mg for the last 10 days. Now, I'm not sleeping properly and I've been feeling kind of faint in the mornings. Also, I just found out my blood pressure is 16090, but I've never had high BP before. I've attached my ECG report too. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I'm really worried and need some guidance. I know someone who's a 20-year-old female, not married, and she has 50 percent artery blockage. She's also experiencing breathlessness and chest pain when she's physically active. She doesn't have diabetes or hypertension, so we're confused about whether she needs stenting or not. What would you suggest?
