View allMy 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.

Cholesterol is normal as per Lipid profile and creatinine is normal after test. My height is 6 feet and weight is 105 kg, work from home. BP showing: 14080. Please suggest me a tablet to get control. Based on your information, with a blood pressure reading of 14080, you can consider taking Amlodipine 5mg. It is a commonly prescribed medication for high blood pressure.

I'm monitoring my blood pressure, and it's been around 15595 for the past three days. I've been feeling a slight sensitive vibration in my head, too. This is the first time my blood pressure has been high like this, and I haven't taken any medication before. What would you recommend I do? Is there a specific tablet I should consider?
