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.

View allI'm wondering if I should stop taking Concur cor 2.5 that I've been on for a month. I found out last month during a routine check-up that I had a 7.5 load of APCs supraventricular in the holter, which is why it was prescribed. But I didn't really have any symptoms before, and Im not feeling any now. Lots of folks say I might not have needed it in the first place, and I'm a bit worried that taking it when it's not necessary might have side effects. If I do decide to stop, what's the best way to taper off since I heard stopping beta blockers suddenly isn't good? Also, are there any follow-up tests I should be doing after I stop the medication? My echo was normal last month.
It is important not to stop beta blockers suddenly to avoid any rebound effects. Since you have been taking Concor Cor 2.5 for a month and are feeling fine, you can consider tapering off the medication gradually. I recommend reducing the dosage by half for a week, then halving it again for another week before stopping completely. This tapering schedule helps your body adjust gradually and reduces the risk of any withdrawal symptoms. Regarding side effects, taking Concor Cor 2.5 for a month is generally safe, especially if you have not experienced any bothersome symptoms. Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, or changes in heart rate, but if you have not noticed any issues, it is unlikely that you will experience them now. Since your echo results were normal last month, there may not be an immediate need for follow-up tests after stopping the medication. However, it is always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your individual health needs.

My grandma's been told she's got this issue with leaking valve shrinkage after she had some chest pain recently, and shes gotta get an angiography. I'm kinda worried about the risks involved with angiography at her age. If it turns out she needs surgery after the angiography, how safe and effective is that gonna be? She's got high blood pressure, but it's under control with meds. She doesn't have any other health issues. Can you help me understand what we're looking at here?
Angiography is generally a safe procedure, but like any medical procedure, it does carry some risks. The risks can include bleeding, infection, allergic reaction to the dye used, or damage to the blood vessels. However, these risks are usually low and the benefits of obtaining important information about the heart often outweigh the risks. If surgery is required after the angiography to address the leaking valve and valve shrinkage, the effectiveness and safety of the surgery will depend on various factors including the specific condition of the valve, the overall health of your Nani, and the skill of the surgical team. In general, valve repair or replacement surgeries can be very effective in improving symptoms and quality of life. With controlled high blood pressure and no other significant illnesses, the overall risk of surgery may be lower. It is important for your Nani to discuss any concerns or questions with her healthcare team, including the cardiologist and cardiac surgeon, to get a better understanding of her individual situation and the potential risks and benefits of the procedures.
