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:
- Type of cheese: Opt for lower-fat options like mozzarella or cottage cheese.
- Portion size: Keep servings small to manage cholesterol levels.
- Overall diet: Include cheese as part of a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
- 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.

View allMy dad had heart bypass surgery about 3 years ago at Ushamullapudi Hospital, and now his heart has gotten larger. He's really having trouble with breathing. He's 60 years old. What could be causing this and what should we do next?
He may benefit from medications such as Carvedilol (Coreg) to help reduce the workload on his heart and improve his symptoms. The typical starting dose for Carvedilol is 3.125 mg twice a day, which can be gradually increased as tolerated. Additionally, he may also be prescribed Furosemide (Lasix) to help reduce fluid buildup in his body and relieve his breathing difficulties. The usual starting dose for Furosemide is 20-80 mg per day, depending on his kidney function and fluid status. It is crucial for him to follow up with his cardiologist regularly for monitoring and adjustments to his medication regimen.

I've noticed my heart rate drops to around 41-45 when I'm sleeping, and I'm a bit worried about it. I'm currently taking Ivabradine, 5mg twice a day. During the day, my heart rate is generally between 85-90, and it goes up to 105-110 while I'm walking. I started on Ivabradine because my heart rate would hit 150 with just minimal exertion. Is it normal for my heart rate to drop like that while I'm asleep, or should I be concerned?
A heart rate dropping to 41-45 while sleeping can be concerning, especially if you are already on Ivabradine for high heart rate during the day. Since Ivabradine is a medication that helps lower heart rate, it is important to monitor your heart rate closely. In your case, since your heart rate during the day is around 85-90 and 105-110 while walking after taking Ivabradine, it seems like the medication is working to lower your heart rate effectively. However, a heart rate dropping significantly during sleep may warrant further evaluation. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine if any adjustments to your medication dosage or timing are needed. It's important to ensure that your heart rate remains within a safe range even during sleep.
