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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For individuals with high triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, low-fat or fat-free milk and curd can be a better option, as they are lower in saturated fats and calories compared to full-fat dairy products; however, it's essential to choose unflavored, unsweetened, and low-lactose options to minimize added sugars and calories.

View allI'm feeling this weird pain and burning sensation in my chest, along with some restlessness. It's not happening all the time, but it's definitely concerning. Could you please suggest what might be going on and what I should do about it?
It sounds like you might be experiencing acid reflux or mild gastritis, which can cause chest discomfort and burning. Avoid spicy or oily foods, eat smaller meals, and don't lie down immediately after eating. If the pain persists or worsens, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I've been really stressed about my heart health lately. I had a 2D echo done back in November, and I'm feeling super anxious about it again. I keep noticing my pulse everywhere I put my hand on my body, and it's freaking me out a bit. How long should I wait before getting another 2D echo to make sure everything's okay?
based on your symptoms and history of severe heart anxiety, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist for a proper evaluation. However, typically, if there are no significant changes in your symptoms, a follow-up 2D echo can be done after 1 year from your last test. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Propranolol 20mg twice daily to help with your heart anxiety symptoms.

I'm really concerned because my father just went through a TMT test and his score was 3.52 Mets. The doctor didnt recommend an angiography, but I'm not sure if we should still consider getting one. Could you help me understand what this means and whether we need to take further action?
A Mits value of 3.52 indicates a moderate risk of coronary artery disease. Since the doctor has not suggested angiography, it is likely that the risk is not high enough to warrant further invasive testing at this point. However, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and continue with regular check-ups to monitor any changes in the condition. In the meantime, medications such as Atorvastatin 20mg and Aspirin 75mg may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease.
