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've been having this subtle pain and discomfort around my ribs, and it's really starting to give me anxiety and hypertension. I've already done an ECG, TST, and some blood tests, but everything came back normal. I've seen a couple of doctors, and they mentioned it's probably related to rib pain, but it feels more serious to me. Is there any specific X-ray or test I should be looking into?

u can take x ray

I'm really confused because my Echo and ECG tests came back normal, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. I'm a GERD patient, and whenever these palpitations hit, I get really nervous. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing or looking out for?

Palpitations despite normal Echo and ECG in a GERD patient could be due to acid reflux irritating the vagus nerve, leading to palpitations. In such cases, managing GERD effectively can help reduce palpitations. You can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for GERD.
