I've been feeling this weird pulsating in my stomach, and naturally, I've gone down the rabbit hole on the internet about abdominal aortic aneurysms. I'm only 21, but I can't help but wonder if it's possible for me to have one. I don't have any family history of it, but I'm a bit overweight and my heart rate is faster than normal. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm 32 years old and recently had an ECG done for my ICL eye surgery. It's showing a heart rate between 120 to 127. I havent had any health issues or heart pain for the past five years, and I've been getting full body checks regularly since I was 27, which consistently show my heart rate in the 120 range. Is this something I should be really concerned about, and is it safe to go ahead with the ICL eye surgery? My report is attached. What should I do?

You have a consistently high heart rate around 120 range for the past 5 years without any health issues or abnormalities. This may be normal for you, especially if you are physically active or have a naturally high heart rate. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your elevated heart rate to ensure it is not due to any underlying medical condition. Considering you are planning to proceed with ICL eye surgery, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to assess your heart health and determine if any further investigations or treatment are necessary before undergoing the surgery. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate if needed. It is important to address any potential cardiac issues before proceeding with surgery to ensure your safety and well-being

Is peanut butter good for high blood pressure?

Peanut butter has fiber and proteins which are healthy and few studies showed that it can reduce mean diastolic blood pressure. And as long as they don't contain hydrogenated fat, nut butters including peanut butter won't cause problems for your cholesterol levels too.
