So my mom started taking Razel CV20 in July 2017 after her doctor switched her from Ecosprin. She's diabetic, but her sugar levels have been under control for a few years. The thing is, she's been complaining that sometimes her hands and feet get cold, and she feels weak, although she usually feels better after about 12 days of rest. These symptoms weren't there when she was on Ecosprin. There's no other health issue, and all her tests are normal. But seeing that two of her older brothers passed away from sudden strokes in their mid-60s, I'm worried. Could these symptoms be hiding something serious? Is it safe for her to continue taking Razel CV? She had high blood pressure in the past but it's been normal for the last 4-5 years. With a family history of high blood pressure, diabetes, and strokes, should we be concerned?

View allI'm a bit worried because I have anemia and my ESR levels are raised. I generally do slow-paced walking covering an average of 45 km, but my resting heart rate seems to be in the range of 48 to 65. My last two ECG readings were 53 and 48. I'm not experiencing any fainting spells or dizziness, but is this okay and considered normal?
Your resting heart rate of 48-65 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, especially for individuals who engage in regular physical activity like slow pace walking. Anemia and raised ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) may indicate an underlying inflammatory condition. Since you do not experience faint spells or dizziness, it is reassuring. However, it is important to further investigate the cause of anemia and raised ESR. I recommend consulting a doctor for a complete evaluation and appropriate management.

My dad is 65 and just had a pacemaker put in because his heart rate dropped dangerously low. The doctors found two major blockages 95% and 99% and are recommending bypass surgery, but his creatinine level is high at 2.58. They say his kidneys might not handle the surgery well. What are our options here? Also, could you suggest a diet that helps both his heart and kidneys?
cardiology opinion is advised.
