Are eggs bad for cholesterol?
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'm having some trouble with my blood pressure meds. I've been on Tazloc 40 and Nebicard 2.5 once a day, and while they help with my BP and pulse, I'm dealing with nasal blockage, ear infections, and respiratory issues. I tried LN Bloc and Ivabradine like my doctor suggested, and that solved the breathing problems, but my BP and pulse aren't as controlled. Switching to LN Bloc 10 twice a day with Nebicard 2.5 worked for my BP and pulse, but those side effects came back. Now my doctor is suggesting benidipine and ivabradine, and it's getting pretty confusing with all the changes. Is benidipine a good option, or is there something else I should try that won't cause the breathing issues or head congestion?
Benidipine is a calcium channel blocker that can be used to treat high blood pressure. It is generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, it can have side effects. If you are experiencing nasal blockage, ear infection, and respiratory issues with your current medications, it may be worth trying a different class of antihypertensive medication. One option to consider is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor such as Enalapril. ACE inhibitors are known to be effective in treating high blood pressure and have a lower incidence of respiratory side effects compared to some other classes of antihypertensive medications. Another option is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) such as Losartan. ARBs work in a similar way to ACE inhibitors but may be better tolerated in some individuals. It is important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. They can provide guidance on the appropriate dosage and monitor your response to the new medication.

I'm thinking about marrying a girl who's had heart valve surgery. She's 27 and on meds her cardiologist says she'll need forever. I'm worried about what this means for us, especially if we want to have kids. Could her medication cause any side effects or issues with pregnancy? And what should we expect for her health and our life together?
