Question

Hey Doc, I recently went through some medical tests and discovered that my homocysteine levels are really high. I'm currently on zincovit, but I'm wondering if I should switch to a stronger multivitamin. Can you recommend one that might help lower my homocysteine levels? Appreciate your guidance.

  1. Understanding High Homocysteine Levels

    • Homocysteine is an amino acid in the blood. High levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

  2. Role of Vitamins in Managing Homocysteine

    • Vitamins B6, B12, and folate are crucial in lowering homocysteine by aiding its metabolism.

  3. Evaluating Your Current Supplement (Zincovit)

    • Zincovit contains essential vitamins but may lack sufficient B6, B12, and folate to lower homocysteine effectively.

  4. Recommendations for Stronger Multivitamins

    • Consider supplements rich in B6, B12, and folate. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

  5. Additional Lifestyle and Medical Advice

    • Include leafy greens and legumes in your diet. Regular blood tests can help monitor levels. Consider seeing a specialist if needed.

I've been having this strange feeling in the middle of my chest, right about my breasts, for a couple of days now.

Question

Been dealing with heart palpitations for about 3 weeks now and it's starting to worry me a bit. I'm taking hypertension meds and Prozac at 10mg.

Any thoughts on what might be going on or if there's something else I should consider? Should I be concerned this time?
