My mom has a 28 mm hole in her heart. Can the immune system heal this naturally, or is surgery necessary? I'm also curious whether treatments like Ayurveda might help. What do you suggest?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 28 mm hole in the heart, likely referring to a congenital defect such as an atrial septal defect (ASD) or a ventricular septal defect (VSD), typically requires medical intervention. This size of a defect is unlikely to close on its own and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Surgery or a catheter-based procedure is usually required to close such a large defect. Ayurveda or other alternative therapies are not effective for treating structural heart defects. It's crucial to consult with a cardiologist to discuss the appropriate treatment options for your mother

I'm a bit concerned about my health. My blood pressure is sitting at 13585. My cholesterol levels show 141 for cholesterol, 296 for triglycerides, 21 for HDL, 76 for LDL, and 59 for VLDL. My HDL cholesterol ratio is 6.73, and the LDLHDL ratio is 3.62. My blood sugar fasting level is at 91, and I have a mild fatty liver. I'm currently taking Olmity AM 25 and Stanlip 145, each one tablet daily. Is this the right treatment plan, or should I be considering any other medications? I'd appreciate your guidance on this.
Based on your current medication and health parameters, your blood pressure and lipid profile are within acceptable ranges. However, your HDL cholesterol levels are low, and your triglyceride levels are high. To address this, you can consider adding a medication like "Atorva TG" (Atorvastatin 10mg + Fenofibrate 160mg) to help improve your lipid profile. It is important to continue monitoring your levels regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
