Are carrots good for high blood pressure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The fiber and potassium in carrots may help manage blood pressure. The American Heart Association (AHA) encourage people to add less salt, or sodium, to meals, while eating more foods that contain potassium, such as carrots.

View allI'm feeling a bit worried because I did ECG, echo, TMT, and a CT angiography back in November 2021, and everything turned out normal back then. But now I'm dealing with chest pain again from time to time, and I've got some acidity issues too. I'm wondering, is it necessary for me to repeat those tests? If so, how long should I wait before doing them again?
In your case, since you are experiencing chest pain again along with acidity issues, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor for further evaluation. The doctor may recommend medications to manage your acidity and chest pain symptoms. For acidity, you can take antacids like Omeprazole 20mg once a day before breakfast. For chest pain, you can take Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, a follow-up with your doctor may be necessary for a reassessment.

My mom has heart, diabetes, and thyroid conditions, and she was recently diagnosed with tuberculosis. Today, she suddenly had an acidity issue, and I gave her Eno. I'm really worried and just wanted to check if it's safe to give Eno to someone with a heart condition.

I'm really worried about my dad. His heart's ejection fraction is only 20, and the doctor mentioned that means his heart's power is at 20. He's been on medication for the last three months, but I'm curious to know what kind of treatment might be next. Also, are there any specific precautions he should be taking right now? I'm just trying to figure out how to best support him through this.
Ejection fraction of the heart is very low , causes would be heart attack,cardiomyopathy,coronary artery disease, high blood pressure,aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitatin,myocarditis,arrhythmia etc , u can continue the same medications . An echocardiogram is advised and a cardiac opinion.
