View allCan you help me understand if Gabapentin and methylcobalamin tablets are actually meant for pedal edema? My grandmother thinks it helps reduce her swelling, but I thought it was for her neuropathic pain from cervical spondylosis. She's also dealing with grade 2 diastolic heart failure, and her cardiologist prescribed this. I'm just worried if we're using it right and if it really helps with edema, any advice?
No there is no role of this drug in resolving pedeledma ,and is used to neuropathic pain,continue that medicine

My doctor told me to get some tests done before my gallstone surgery I have an 8.9mm stone with cholesterolosis. I did an ECG, chest X-ray, and FBS. The X-ray is normal, and FBS is fine too, but my CBC shows slightly high eosinophils. The ECG report says sinus tachycardia with old inferior wall what does that mean? I also have anxiety, so I'm a bit worried about the ECG findings. Can you explain?
kindly share report

I'm starting to get concerned about my cholesterol levels, even though my overall cholesterol is 185, which doesn't seem too bad. But my triglycerides are on the higher side, and I'm wondering if this is something to worry about. Are there any natural ways to bring those levels down, or should I be considering medication? Would love to hear your thoughts.
To help reduce triglyceride levels naturally, you can try incorporating lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet low in sugar and refined carbohydrates, increasing physical activity, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil supplements can also help lower triglyceride levels. If lifestyle changes are not enough to lower triglyceride levels, medication may be recommended. One common medication used to lower triglycerides is Fenofibrate. The usual dosage for Fenofibrate is 48 to 145 mg per day, as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
