Lemons and Blood Pressure
Eating lemons can be a healthy addition to your diet, but they are unlikely to significantly lower blood pressure on their own. They are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which support heart health. -
Lifestyle Recommendations
a. Balanced Diet: Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and reduce salt intake.
b. Physical Activity: Engage in regular exercise.
c. Healthy Weight: Maintain a healthy body weight.
d. Limit Alcohol and Avoid Tobacco: These can impact blood pressure. -
Consult Healthcare Provider
If you have high blood pressure, follow your healthcare provider's advice, which may include medications and specific dietary recommendations. Discuss any concerns with your doctor.

So, I've been having this chest pain for a few months now, and I went through all the basic heart checks. My ECG was normal, but it showed Sinus tachycardia, and the TMT came back negative. The first time I did a 2D Echo, they mentioned Mild Concentric LVH, but when I repeated it a few days later, they didnt find any LVH. I even went for another 2D Echo at a different place, and again, they said there was no LVH. Is it common for results to differ like this? Could my chest pain still be related to my heart, and have I done enough tests to rule out any cardiac issues? Also, just to add, I dont smoke or drink.
It is possible for there to be discrepancies in medical imaging findings, especially when it comes to conditions like mild concentric LVH. However, since your ECG and TMT results are normal and there is no longer evidence of mild concentric LVH on your recent 2D Echo, it is less likely that your chest pain is cardiac in nature. It is important to consider other potential causes for your chest pain, such as musculoskeletal issues, gastrointestinal problems, or even anxiety. To further evaluate your chest pain and rule out any other cardiac issues, you may consider discussing with your healthcare provider about other tests such as a stress echocardiogram, coronary CT angiography, or cardiac MRI. Additionally, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and regular follow-ups with your doctor are important for your overall health and well-being.

I'm really worried because my heart rate seems to shoot up when I'm stressed. Sometimes it even hits between 160 to 180 bpm. What can I do to get it back to normal? Any tips on how to reduce my heartbeat when this happens?
Increased heart rate due to tension can be concerning. To help reduce your heart rate, you can try deep breathing exercises and relaxation techniques. Additionally, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. It can help lower your heart rate and reduce the effects of adrenaline on your heart. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
