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 a bit worried about my dad's blood pressure. He got it checked today just for a routine check-up and it was 144100. He's 53 and doesn't have any medical conditions. He's pretty active and walks 2 to 3 km every day. Is this blood pressure range okay for his age, or should he start taking medication to control it? What do you suggest?
Your father's blood pressure reading of 144100 mmHg is considered stage 2 hypertension, which is above the normal range for his age; given his active lifestyle and lack of underlying medical conditions, lifestyle modifications such as increasing physical activity, reducing sodium intake, and stress management should be attempted first, before considering medication

I'm having some mild shortness of breath along with chest tightness and a bit of back pain that spreads to my neck. I've done tests like ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, diabetes checks, and PFT, and all came back normal, but my cholesterol was high. I'm taking Rosuvas for that and also Amlodipine for high blood pressure. My weight is 110 kg, and my BP is 14090. Should I be getting any more tests or changing my meds? I'm also in the process of trying to lose weight. What do you think?

I've been feeling some heaviness in my chest, not so much pain but more like there's something pressed against it. It's also affecting my sleep. My left shoulder and fingers feel a bit numb too, but it's more discomfort than pain. I used to smoke occasionally, like one or two cigarettes every few months, and I drink less than three days a month. All these chest discomforts have been around for about two years now. I saw a doctor back then and they said everything was fine, but it got worse with numbness and lightheadedness, and they said I had spondylosis. I've also had a shoulder injury since 2009, which I didn't really take care of. I'm trying to figure out if this is heart-related, gastric problems, or something due to my shoulder injury. It's really starting to affect me a lot. What could be causing these issues?
