Can you recommend which Saffola oil is better for a heart patient, especially after they've recently dealt with heart issues? I'm really worried and want to make sure I choose the best option for their health.

For heart health, Saffola Total Pro Heart Oil is a good option. It contains a blend of rice bran oil and safflower oil, which is rich in oryzanol and natural Vitamin E. The recommended dosage is 2-3 teaspoons per day for cooking purposes.

View allI'm a 33-year-old guy, and I've just been told I have a myocardiac bridge 1520. Lately, I've had a bit of right chest pain, some tightness, and I'm feeling kind of weak. Can you help me understand what's going on with me? I'm really curious and a bit worried.
Myocardial bridge is a condition where a segment of one of the coronary arteries tunnels through the myocardium rather than resting on top of it. This can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, tightness, and weakness. In your case, with a myocardial bridge of 15-20%, it is important to manage your symptoms and monitor for any changes. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take medications such as Beta-blockers like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to reduce the workload on your heart and relieve chest pain. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be used for acute chest pain relief. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your condition.

I'm really worried because my cholesterol numbers have recently changed quite a bit. In July 2019, my LDL was 175 and HDL was 45, so my doctor put me on Atormac 10 mg. After taking it for three months, by October 2019, my LDL went down to 100, but my HDL also dropped to 32. My doctor said not to worry, but I'm concerned about my HDL levels dropping so quickly. What should I do about this?
Regarding your decreased HDL levels in just three months, it is important to focus on lifestyle changes to improve your HDL levels. You can start by incorporating regular physical activity, such as aerobic exercise, into your routine. Additionally, you can include healthy fats in your diet, such as those found in avocados, nuts, and olive oil. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish like salmon, can also help raise HDL levels. In terms of medication, you can continue taking Atormac 10 mg as prescribed by your doctor to help lower your LDL levels. However, if you are concerned about your HDL levels, you may want to discuss with your doctor the possibility of switching to a different medication that can help improve HDL levels, such as fenofibrate. Remember to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to help improve your HDL levels along with medication
