I'm trying to figure out if it's safe to include curd or milk in the diet for someone with high triglycerides and high LDL cholesterol. Is there any benefit or should they be avoided?

Azithromycin (Azipro 500) is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections, including throat infections. The usual dosage for adults with a sore throat is 500 mg once daily for 3 days. It is important to complete the full course as prescribed by the pharmacist. In addition to Azithromycin, you can also try over-the-counter remedies such as throat lozenges, warm salt water gargles, and staying hydrated to help alleviate your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Question

Hey, I came across a service called chc healthwatch that offers portable echocardiograms you can do at home. Are these tests just as reliable and accurate as the ones performed in a lab? I'm a bit hesitant to go to a lab right now because of the covid situation, so I'm hoping this could be a good alternative. What do you think?

Question

I'm 33 years old and my doctor prescribed bisoprolol 2.5 mg for a month. I came across something that said beta blockers are usually a lifelong medication. Is that true? Can you help clarify how long I might need to be on it? I've got a lot of questions about its long-term effects and what it means for my health.

Question

I've been dealing with high blood pressure, like around 15080, for a bit now, and my doctors assistant put me on Stamlo 10mg twice a day. Over time, they gradually reduced it to 10mg once a day, then to 5mg, then 2.5mg, and finally half of 2.5mg because my BP stabilized. Now my doctor said I could stop taking the meds and just monitor my BP for a week. If it stays normal, I can stop the meds and just focus on a healthy lifestyle. But, if it goes up again, I might have to be on meds for life. Im worried about stopping the meds completelyis it safe to just stop like this? Could it have any serious effects on my health? What do you think?
