For individuals with high triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, low-fat or fat-free milk and curd can be a better option, as they are lower in saturated fats and calories compared to full-fat dairy products; however, it's essential to choose unflavored, unsweetened, and low-lactose options to minimize added sugars and calories.

Question

I've had angioplasty with two stents placed back in December 2017. I'm taking Brilinta 90 mg, Carca, Cardace, and Metformin morning and evening, with Ecosprin in the evening. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have my evening dose of medication after having some alcohol. Is this safe or should I be worried about any interactions?

Question

I'm 22 and I've been experiencing chest pain for a few months now. My X-ray and ECG both came back normal, but the pain keeps coming and going within about 30 seconds. It switches locations, sometimes on the left side, other times on the right, and occasionally its in the upper or lower chest. I'm really worried about my heart. Could this actually be related to gas like the doctor suggested?

Question

My mother-in-law is 65 and she's really struggling with high blood pressure that just won't seem to get under control, even though she's on a high dose of BP meds. Her echo and ECG came back normal, and all her blood tests look good except for high cholesterol. She's taking Rosuvas for that. I'm really worriedwhat else can she do to get her blood pressure in check?
