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 allIve been experiencing some pain in the heart area of my chest whenever I bend backwards and raise my hands. It just started this morning. Yesterday, I was doing deep breathing exercises for PMR and some physical workouts. Do you think there's an issue if I use a spray like Volini on that area?
Applying Volini spray on the chest area for chest pain is not recommended, especially if the pain is in the heart area and is triggered by specific movements. It is important to rule out any underlying heart issues before using any topical pain relief medication. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

My dad recently had a heart attack and got a 40mm stent placed in his LAD. Is there still a chance he might need bypass surgery for that area later on?
Yes, it's possible your dad might need bypass surgery in the future, even after having a stent placed in his LAD. While stents are effective for opening blocked arteries, they don't address the underlying cause of the blockage, and there's a chance of restenosis (re-narrowing of the artery) or new blockages forming later
