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 a 26-year-old male, around 78 kg, and about 5'9". During my UPSC physical test, the doctor mentioned hearing a slight heart murmur through the stethoscope. I went through an echo test and an ECG, but they didn't find anything specific. I passed the test, but I'm kind of worried about what this could mean for my future. My recent cholesterol levels are 195 total, 96 LDL, 35 VLDL, and 39 HDL. The echo test showed that my IV septum is 11. Should I be concerned about this murmur, and is there something I should be doing to address it? Your guidance would be really helpful.
Given your situation, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. To address the heart murmur, you can take a low dose of **Aspirin** daily to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, **Atorvastatin** can be used to manage your cholesterol levels effectively. It is recommended to take **Atorvastatin 20mg** daily to keep your LDL cholesterol in check. Regular exercise, a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, and avoiding smoking can also help improve your heart health and reduce the risk of future issues. It's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular check-ups and monitoring.

I'm dealing with a recurring issue where I feel discomfort in the middle or middle-left part of my chest whenever I'm stressed or overly worried about something, like my mother's sickness. It usually lasts for an hour or two and then goes away on its own. I'm a bit concerned about whether this could be a sign of a serious heart problem. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and how it could be treated?
no its because of stress , reduce it
