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.

I recently went through a 2D echo because of some palpitations, and I've had an EKG as well. Plus, I did a stress test a while back. Do these results seem normal to you?

Based on the information provided, I cannot give a definitive answer without reviewing the actual results of your 2D echo, EKG, and stress test. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to interpret the results accurately. If everything looks normal, no further action may be needed. However, if there are any abnormalities or concerns, your doctor may recommend specific medications.

I'm really worried about this ongoing lightheadedness I've been dealing with for the past 8 months. It's like I'm under the influence of something, almost like alcohol, but I'm not. I've had these scary episodes where my chest hurts and my blood pressure shoots up to 150100. The ER told me it was a panic attack, and it's happened twice now. I've undergone so many testsHolter Monitor, ECG, EKG, chest and heart CT scans, even a brain MRI and countless blood tests. Everything comes back normal, including checks for anemia and thyroid issues. They did find H. Pylori, and I finished a 14-day antibiotic course for that, but otherwise, doctors say I'm fine. Yet, I can't shake these feelings and symptoms. I'm 30, 6 feet tall, and weigh 90 kg, with blood pressure often around 13590. I've even had ECGs during the pain episodes. Can you help me figure out what might be going on here?

It sounds like you have been through a thorough evaluation for your symptoms. Since all your reports have come back normal and your doctors have ruled out various possible causes, including panic attacks, it's important to consider other factors that may be contributing to your lightheadedness and other symptoms. One possible cause could be inner ear problems leading to vertigo-like symptoms. I recommend trying a medication called Meclizine (brand name Antivert) at a dose of 25-100 mg per day to help with your lightheadedness. Additionally, you may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation therapy to address any inner ear issues. It's also important to stay well-hydrated, maintain a healthy diet, and practice stress-reducing activities such as yoga or meditation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it may be helpful to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and management.
