Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Omega-3 rich fish include salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring, tuna, and halibut. Other foods that help lower triglycerides include fiber-rich foods such as oats, flax meal, and beans. Olive oil, especially when substituted for animal fats like butter or lard, is another food that can help lower triglycerides.

I'm trying to come off the beta blockers my doctor prescribed for the heart palpitations linked to my anxiety. I'm a bit worried about the process and wondering if stopping them might lead to any issues or side effects afterward. Can you help guide me on what to expect and how to do this safely?

To come off beta blockers that were prescribed for anxiety symptoms like heart palpitations, it is important to gradually taper off the medication under the supervision of your healthcare provider. Abruptly stopping beta blockers can lead to rebound symptoms such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety. One common beta blocker used for anxiety symptoms is Propranolol. Your doctor may gradually reduce your dosage over a period of time to minimize withdrawal symptoms. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully during this process. After stopping beta blockers, some individuals may experience a temporary increase in heart rate and blood pressure. However, these symptoms typically subside as your body adjusts to being off the medication. If you have any concerns or experience any troubling symptoms during the tapering process, be sure to contact your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I just got my EKG report and it says "borderline ECG." I went to the cardiologist for surgery clearance for bariatric surgery. Should I be worried about this result? Could this affect my surgery? What does "borderline ECG" mean exactly?

Borderline ECG means that the results of your electrocardiogram are not definitively normal or abnormal. It could indicate a variety of issues or it could simply be a variation of normal for you. It is important to discuss these results further with your cardiologist to determine if any additional testing or monitoring is needed.
