Cheese contains saturated fats, which can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels if consumed in excess. However, moderate consumption is generally acceptable for most people.

Key points to consider:

  1. Type of cheese: Opt for lower-fat options like mozzarella or cottage cheese.
  2. Portion size: Keep servings small to manage cholesterol levels.
  3. Overall diet: Include cheese as part of a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
  4. Individual health: Consult your doctor if you have high cholesterol or heart disease risk.

Discuss your specific health status with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I've been diagnosed with MVP with mild MR and was really anxious during the echocardiogram. My doctor prescribed Concor 2.5, but since I started taking it, I've been experiencing palpitations all over my body. Could this mean I've developed irregular rhythms? I'm really worried, and my neck is tingling often. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you may be experiencing side effects from Concor (Bisoprolol) 2.5. The palpitations and irregular rhythms you are feeling could be due to the medication. I recommend contacting your doctor to discuss these symptoms. In the meantime, you can consider switching to a different beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (Lopressor) at a lower dose. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I'm experiencing some pain in my left chest and left hand for the last couple of days, and it feels like it might be related to gas. Can you suggest any remedies or should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or heartburn. To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets. You can take 2 tablets as needed for relief of gastric symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
