Rice as altogether is not either bad or good for cholesterol. White rice has high cholesterol and also it is easily digestible, so one tends to overeat. On the other hand, brown rice is whole grain with low glycemic index, has less cholesterol and more fiber which promotes fullness.

Question

My mom, who's 75, has been having this center chest pain for 25 days now. Last week the doctor gave her met xl 12.5 and veloz d to take every morning after looking at her ECG report, but it hasn't helped with the pain. Today, after checking her 2D echo, they suggested she take Mucaine syrup and Sucrafil three times a day for a month. She's also on telmikind am 80 (half a tablet) and rosuless c 10 every night. I'm really worried since it's been more than a week without improvement. Do you have any idea what might be causing this pain?

Question

I'm really concerned because every few days, I feel my heart beating really strongly, especially when I'm lying down. It's so intense that my whole upper body shakes with each heartbeat. I've had an ECG and an echo, and both came back normal, but these episodes still happen occasionally. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

Question

I'm experiencing some discomfort in my heart from time to time, and I recently had an ECG done, which came back with something called "borderline." I'm a bit worried and curious to know if there are any tablets or treatments for heart blockages that I should consider. Could you help explain what "borderline" means and if it's something I should be concerned about?
