I'm really worried because my diastolic blood pressure is consistently 90 or higher, even though my systolic is usually between 120 and 130. I've had a renal scan and tests for creatinine and urine protein, and everything came back normal. What could be causing this high diastolic pressure when everything else seems fine?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Given your high diastolic blood pressure (90+ mmHg) and normal systolic pressure (120-130 mmHg), along with normal renal scan, creatinine, and urine protein results, consider lifestyle modifications to manage blood pressure: increase physical activity, reduce sodium intake, follow the DASH diet, manage stress through relaxation techniques, get adequate sleep (7-8 hours), and maintain a healthy weight

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.

I'm trying to understand why my ejection fraction is higher than normal. It's at 82, whereas previously it was 70 according to another report. Should I be worried about this change? What could cause such an increase in ejection fraction?
An ejection fraction of 82% is considered higher than normal and may indicate a condition such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In some cases, medications like Metoprolol (Toprol XL) may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate and improve heart function. The dosage will depend on your specific condition and needs.
