Question 1

I've recently found out that I have a heart blockage issue and I'm really worried about what this means for my health. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment that could help with clearing the heart blockage? Im looking for a more natural approach if possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm feeling quite anxious about this whole situation.

Accepted Answer

Ayurvedic treatments for heart blockage focus on lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and herbal remedies; consider the following: Triphala, Arjuna, and Amalaki to reduce cholesterol and inflammation; Abana, a polyherbal formulation, to improve cardiac function; Panchakarma therapies, such as snehana and swedana, to detoxify and rejuvenate; and Rasayana Chikitsa, a rejuvenation therapy, to improve overall cardiovascular health; however, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or cardiologist before starting any treatment, as Ayurvedic remedies may interact with modern medications or worsen underlying conditions.

Question 2

I'm experiencing these brief episodes of chest pain that just last a few seconds and then vanish. It's weird because my breathing feels fine, and my heart rate doesn't seem to speed up. I found out a while back that I have a small VSD, and my last echo six months ago was normal. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

"Hello, based on your description of experiencing chest pain for a fraction of seconds without any difficulty in breathing or increased heart rate, and considering your small ventricular septal defect (VSD) with a normal echocardiogram 6 months ago, this chest pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety rather than a cardiac cause. To alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed for chest discomfort. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques or deep breathing exercises may help reduce any anxiety-related chest pain episodes. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

Question 3

I've been struggling with high blood pressure for the past five or six years. I've tried Ayurvedic medicines, but they dont seem to be giving me much relief. I'm worried and wondering if I should consider other treatment options. Any advice on what I might do to manage this better?

Accepted Answer

For the high blood pressure that you have been experiencing for the last five-six years, it is important to consider switching to allopathic medications for better control. I recommend starting with a medication called Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a starting dose of 5mg once daily. This medication is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and can help lower your blood pressure effectively. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring of your condition.
