Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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.

I'm really concerned about my father who is 56 and had pneumonia during his COVID infection. Although he's now COVID-negative, he's been prescribed Voritrol 200mg. I'm worried because he had a stent placed four years ago, is on blood thinners, and also has diabetes. Can you tell me if it's safe for him to take Voritrol given his medical history?

I'm a bit worried about my heart rate and blood pressure. When I'm sleeping, my heart rate is around 58 bpm, but when I wake up, it's suddenly at 7275 bpm, and while I'm moving, it's about 90 bpm. Also, I checked my blood pressure on a digital machine at home, and it showed readings of 12586 and 12789. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? I'm feeling a little anxious about all this.

A heart rate of 58 bpm while sleeping, 72-75 bpm upon waking, and 90 bpm when moving is within normal ranges. - Your blood pressure readings of 12586 and 12789 are also within normal limits. - There is no need to be anxious about these values as they fall within the normal range for heart rate and blood pressure. - However, if you have persistent concerns or symptoms, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
