Hey, I'm really worried about heart blockages and was wondering if there are any medicines or foods that can help reduce them, maybe even by half or some percentage, if I take them regularly?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There are medications that can help reduce heart blockage, such as statins like Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin. These medications help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries. It is important to take these medications as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, incorporating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can also help improve heart health and reduce the progression of heart blockage. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are also important factors in reducing heart blockage.

View allI've been dealing with high blood pressure for the last six years, and I'm currently taking Olmesar 20 H. This past week, my blood pressure readings have been fluctuating between 13590 and 14595. What can I do to help lower my blood pressure? I'm a bit concerned about these numbers.
It seems like your blood pressure is slightly elevated despite taking Olmesar 20 H. To help lower your blood pressure, you can try increasing your physical activity, reducing your salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress. In addition, you may need a change in medication dosage or a different medication. I recommend consulting your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.

I've got this digital automatic blood pressure machine, and whenever I check my BP, it keeps showing around 13292, averaging about 13090. I'm really curious about how I can get it to go down to 11575. I'm thinking being overweight might be part of the issue. Can you give me some advice on how to get my blood pressure to a normal range?
It is better advised to check the blood presssure with the mercury appartus rather than digital bp machine for accurate bp measurement results..
