I'm monitoring my blood pressure with an Omron machine, and it reads 100140, but my pulse is normal. I heard that blood pressure can stay high in winter. Should I think about consulting a doctor for this?

Seasonal changes can indeed affect blood pressure levels in some individuals. If your blood pressure consistently remains at 140100 mmHg, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation. You can consider taking antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper assessment and personalized treatment plan.

View allI've been having this uncomfortable pain just below my left breast, and it's only on one side. I've started working out recently. Could this just be muscle pain from exercising, or should I be worried about something else?
The pain you are experiencing below your left breast could be musculoskeletal in nature due to your workout routine. However, it is important to rule out any other potential causes such as costochondritis or even cardiac issues. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for muscle pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and avoiding strenuous exercise that exacerbates the pain may also be helpful. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

My husband's triglyceride level is pretty high at 515, so I'm a bit worried about what he can eat. I'm wondering if mangoes are okay for him. He's taking Stator F every night after dinner. Does that affect what fruits or foods he should avoid?
High triglycerides are a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and managing diet is crucial in controlling these levels. While mangoes are nutritious, they are also high in natural sugars, which could potentially raise triglyceride levels if consumed in large quantities. Your husband can still enjoy mangoes, but it is important to do so in moderation and as part of a balanced diet that is low in refined sugars and unhealthy fats. Since he is taking Stator-F (a combination of statin and fenofibrate) to manage his triglycerides, it is essential to follow dietary recommendations from his healthcare provider. If you're unsure about how much mango is appropriate, it would be best to consult with his doctor or a registered dietitian who can provide personalized advice.
