Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Eggs contains high cholesterol but it doesn't seems to raise cholesterol the way other cholesterol foods do. You may consume them in moderation and can prefer only egg white also as it contains only proteins.

View allI've been having this strange sensation on the left side of my chest, kind of like a needle prick. I got an ECG done, and it was normal, which is a relief, but my doctor put me on Provonal Forte. I'm just wondering, could this be some kind of chest infection or maybe anxiety acting up?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to anxiety or nerve-related issues. Provanol forte tablet is likely prescribed to help with chest discomfort and anxiety symptoms. However, if you are still feeling needle pricking sensations in your chest, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Paracetamol for pain relief as needed.

I'm really concerned about my father who is 56 and had pneumonia during his COVID infection. Although he's now COVID-negative, he's been prescribed Voritrol 200mg. I'm worried because he had a stent placed four years ago, is on blood thinners, and also has diabetes. Can you tell me if it's safe for him to take Voritrol given his medical history?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

Greetings, doctors. I'm really worried about my heart. I'm 36, weigh 45 kg, and stand 5'4". I've been through countless tests like ECG, echo, TMT, and USG, and they all show I'm normal. Despite this, I'm terrified that I'll die of a heart attack. I witnessed my cousin's grandmother die from a heart issue right in front of me a couple of years ago, and ever since, Ive been living in fear. Because of this fear, my heart's always palpitating, I have difficulty breathing, feel dizzy, and get chest pains sometimes. Even when I had palpitations, my ECG showed normal at 116 bpm. My blood pressure is also steady, usually at 12080 or 70. It's scary, and I've even quit my job over this stress. All my tests like thyroid, KFT, lipid, vitamins, and LFT are also normal. Should I consider coronary angiography or maybe something else? I'm just feeling lost and need guidance, please.
It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety and fear related to your heart health. Given your age, weight, and the normal test results you have mentioned, it is less likely that you have a serious heart condition. The symptoms you are describing, such as palpitations, difficulty breathing, dizziness, and chest pain, could be related to anxiety and panic attacks. To help alleviate your fears and symptoms, I recommend trying a medication called **Propranolol**. It is a beta-blocker that can help with palpitations, chest pain, and anxiety. You can start with a low dose of **10mg** once a day and gradually increase it as needed under medical supervision. In addition to medication, it would be beneficial for you to seek counseling or therapy to address the underlying anxiety and fear you are experiencing. **Sertraline** is an antidepressant that can also help with anxiety. You can start with a dose of **25mg** daily and adjust as needed. Remember to practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness, to help manage your anxiety symptoms. It is important to take care of your mental health as well as your physical health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, do not hesitate to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and support.
