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.

My aunt has a heart problem and doctors recommended a heart valve replacement, including Dr Anil Bhan last year. We couldn't afford it then, but now she's admitted at SKIMS Hospital in Srinagar and her condition is serious. She has young daughters, so we really need to figure this out. Can you tell me the approximate cost for the valve replacement surgery, including hospital stay and medicines? We need to arrange funds quickly to save her life.

Heart has 4 valves in all . I would need to see a 2 D Echo and then decide what surgery and then predict appropriate cost

I'm experiencing this weird issue where my heart starts to palpitate really fast, and every time I take a breath, it feels like I can actually feel the blood pumping. Then, out of nowhere, I'll get a nosebleed. When this happens, I'm scared to do anything physically demanding because I'm worried the bleeding might get worse. Could you let me know which kind of doctor I should see about this?
