Is peanut butter good for high blood pressure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I'm really worried about a 20mm ASD hole in the heart and I'm wondering if there's any way to treat it without surgery. Are there other options or treatments available to help with this condition?

I'm really worried about my father. He's had high blood pressure for about 20 days now. He's already a BP patient, but lately, his pressure is shooting up to around 16090. He was on promolate xl 25 before and now he's been switched to telvas 40 by the doctor. It doesn't seem to be helping control his blood pressure, though. Can you suggest anything that might help us manage this better?
It seems like your father's blood pressure is not well controlled with Telvas 40. In this case, the doctor may consider adding or adjusting the dosage of another medication. One common combination for high blood pressure is Telvas 40 (Telmisartan 40mg) along with Amlodipine (usually 5mg to 10mg). Amlodipine helps to further lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. However, the final decision on the medication and dosage should be made by your father's treating physician after a thorough evaluation. It is important to continue monitoring his blood pressure regularly and follow up with his doctor for further management.
