It doesn't lower BP but Lemon contains high amounts of Vitamin C, which acts as an anti-oxidant, removing free radicals from the body.

Question

I'm a 33-year-old guy who hits the gym pretty regularly. I had my blood pressure checked around 2 p.m. and it was 140 over 80. Is that normal? Should I be concerned?

I've noticed over the last couple of days that my blood pressure has been lower than usual. My systolic pressure is hovering between 90 and 100, and the diastolic numbers are around 50 to 60. I'm a bit concerned about what's causing this drop. What might be going on and what should I do about it?

Question

I'm reviewing my angiogram results, and it's making me pretty anxious. It mentions a "20% stenosis" in the distal left main, and a "90% stenosis" in the proximal left anterior descending artery, plus a "60% stenosis" in the mid LAD. The distal LAD is stated as normal, but there's a "40% stenosis" in the diagonal. Also, it says my right coronary artery has a "90% eccentric stenosis" in the distal part, though the rest is fine, as well as the PDA and minimal disease in PLV. Could you help me understand what all this means, and what should be done? I'm feeling really lost here.
