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 32 and my blood pressure readings came out to be 14890. Is that within the normal range, or should I be concerned? I'm not diabetic, so I'm wondering if I need to see a doctor or if there's something I should do on my own. Could you advise me on this?

I'm experiencing some mild pain in my upper chest on both sides and also in my upper back, and sometimes even in the lower part of my chest. I went to the doctor yesterday, and he did an ECG, which came back normal. My oxygen level is 97, but I'm still feeling like I need to take a deep breath every 10 minutes or so, and Im not sure why. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
