Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week without increasing their risk of heart disease. Some studies have shown that this level of egg consumption may even help prevent certain types of stroke.

Eggs can be a part of a heart-healthy diet for a 50-year-old male when consumed in moderation. Here are some key points to consider:

  1. Nutritional Benefits:
    Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals that support overall health.

  2. Cholesterol Concerns:
    While eggs contain cholesterol, recent research suggests that for most people, dietary cholesterol has a smaller impact on blood cholesterol levels than previously thought.

  3. Moderation is Key:
    Eating up to one egg per day is generally considered safe for heart health in healthy individuals.

  4. Individual Health Factors:
    If you have existing heart disease, diabetes, or high cholesterol, it's best to consult your doctor for personalized advice.

  5. Balanced Diet:
    Incorporate eggs as part of a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.

If you have specific health conditions or concerns, discussing your diet with a healthcare provider or a dietitian can help tailor recommendations to your needs.

I've noticed that my resting heart rate usually falls between 53 and 60, and my blood pressure seems fine. I don't experience shortness of breath, weakness, or any faintness. I don't get tired during physical activities, either. Over the past couple of years, I've had ECG, TMT, and Echo tests done; they didn't show anything concerning. The only thing that came up was a grade I diastolic dysfunction on the Echo test, but my doctor said that was normal. I play cricket almost every weekend without any issues. Is having a heart rate between 53-60 something I should worry about? Do you think I should get it checked out or need any treatment?

Your resting heart rate of 53 to 60 beats per minute is considered to be on the lower side but can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically active like yourself. Since you do not experience any symptoms like shortness of breath, weakness, fainting, or exhaustion during physical activity, and your ECG, TMT, and Echo tests have not shown any significant abnormalities, there may not be a cause for concern. However, if you are still worried about your low heart rate, you can consult with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues. In the meantime, continue to stay active and monitor your heart rate during physical activities. If further evaluation is needed, your doctor may recommend additional tests or monitoring.

I'm a little worried about using Benadon tablets. Is it safe to take them without any issues? I've been feeling like the medication I'm using for erectile dysfunction might be affecting my heart, making it feel weaker. Can Benadon help strengthen my heart, or is there another supplement or something else you'd recommend?

Concerning symptoms! Considering your mom's diabetes and numbness symptoms, consult: 1. *Diabetologist*: To rule out diabetes-related complications, such as neuropathy. 2. *Neurologist*: To investigate potential nerve damage or disorders. 3. *General Physician*: For a thorough check-up and referral to a specialist if needed. Before consulting the doctor: 1. Monitor your mom's blood sugar levels. 2. Keep a record of her symptoms, including when they occur and how long they last. 3. Note any other health issues or medications she's taking. Early diagnosis and treatment can help alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.

So, I've been keeping track of my heart rate and noticed that my resting heart rate is usually between 50 and 55 bpm. I'm a 20-year-old guy, relatively healthy, and Im about 6'2 tall, weighing 74 kg. When I do high-intensity interval training, my heart rate can spike up to 150-160 bpm. Is this normal for someone my age and build, or should I be concerned about these numbers?

A resting heart rate averaging around 50-55 bpm can be normal for a healthy 20-year-old male, especially if you are physically active or an athlete, as regular exercise often leads to a lower resting heart rate due to increased cardiovascular efficiency. Reaching a heart rate of 150-160 bpm during High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is also within normal ranges for vigorous exercise. However, if you experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, or fainting, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure there are no underlying issues. Otherwise, your heart rate appears consistent with a healthy, active lifestyle.
