I'm curious about whether soy milk really helps in lowering LDL cholesterol and if it's good for the heart. How much soy milk would be safe for someone with heart issues to drink?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Soy milk is indeed beneficial for heart health as it contains plant-based proteins and is low in saturated fats. The presence of soy protein in soy milk has been shown to help reduce LDL cholesterol levels. For heart health benefits, it is recommended for a heart patient to consume around 25 grams of soy protein per day. This is roughly equivalent to 2-3 cups of soy milk daily. Regular consumption of soy milk as part of a balanced diet can contribute to a healthy heart.

My mother-in-law has been struggling with high cholesterol and she's had two angiograms already. She's also dealing with thyroid issues, diabetes, and high blood pressure. She's been on medication for the last seven years, which has kept everything normal. But last week, her triglyceride levels shot up to 470, and she started feeling chest pain. The doctor ran some tests and added two new tablets, KORANDIL 10 and METAGARD 35, for 15 days. But after taking them, she's been having severe headaches, so she stopped taking the pills. Is there a possibility of changing these tablets with the help of the doctor?
Before changing anything , we will need to check your angiography report , your ECG , and echocardiography reports.. With out that. Changing or stoping medications can be dangerous Also will need the complete list of medications korandil can cause headache but it dialates the small blood vessels in the heart and if you have a significant blockage then you need it or some similar kind of meds..so need all the above mentioned information before any advice

I'm experiencing something strange over the last couple of days. My pulse rhythm seems normal, but I've been having this weird fluttering sensation in my neck, kind of a vague feeling. It usually happens after I eat. I'm curious if this is something I should be concerned about. What could be causing this?
The symptoms you are describing, such as fluttering in the neck and a vague feeling, could be related to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causing esophageal spasms. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps with the symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
