I've been jogging regularly and watching my diet, but my triglycerides are at 240. What more can I do to bring down those levels naturally?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To help lower your triglyceride levels naturally, you can consider taking Omega-3 fatty acids supplements. I recommend taking Fish Oil capsules, 1000mg twice daily with meals. Additionally, you can try incorporating more fiber into your diet by taking Psyllium husk powder, 5 grams once daily with a full glass of water. Lastly, you can also try Niacin (Vitamin B3) supplements, starting with 250mg daily and gradually increasing to 500mg daily. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplements.

View allI'm feeling a bit worried after our recent echocardiography showed mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Can this one test really confirm I have PAH, or should I be looking into more testing? And what should I expect in terms of life expectancy with mild PAH? Is there any chance that this condition can be cured?
Cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm wondering if it's okay to take my blood pressure while I'm lying down or if I should always be in a sitting position. Does the blood pressure reading change when I'm lying down compared to when I'm sitting?
It is generally recommended to measure blood pressure while sitting, as this is the standard position for accurate readings. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to measure blood pressure while lying down, especially for patients who have difficulty sitting or standing. Blood pressure readings can vary depending on body position, with readings typically lower when lying down compared to sitting or standing.

I've been noticing a few things and I'm a bit concerned. Breathing is fine and I don't have any throat pain, but I've been experiencing some chest pain and occasionally my leg hurts. Sometimes there's mucus too. I haven't been exercising for the last month and have mostly been staying at home. Could this be related to my lack of activity, or should I be worried about something else?
once get your ECG done as a screening for cardiac issues,if it turns out to be normal, General physician consultation would help you.
