What are the best foods to eat to lower triglycerides?
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.

View allI recently had an ECG done at the hospital, and the report mentioned "Normal sinus rhythm" and something about "minimal voltage criteria for LVH" and it being a "borderline ECG." I'm a bit confused and concerned about what this all means. Could you explain if there's anything I should be worried about with these results?

I recently did a 24-hour Holter monitoring because I've been feeling like my heart rate drops sometimes. The doctor said everything looked fine, but I'm still feeling uneasy about it. Could you take another look at the report to make sure everything's okay?
no need

Can you have a look at this EKG for me? I've been having a really tough time with chest discomfort that spreads to my left arm, back, and abdomen. Went to the ER and they did an EKG; the heart doctor said it was normal. They sent me home with meds for acidity and anxiety, but Im feeling even worse now, like it might be a heart attack. So I went to another hospital where they did another ECG, but no cardiologist checked it. Im having body shivers and tremors but no chills. My stomach's also upset, with loose motions a lot because of IBS and GERD, and I ate chocolates today which are the worst for GERD. Should I get a troponin test done? Its really expensivecan I skip it? Any advice would be helpful.
Based on your symptoms and medical history, it is important to rule out a heart attack as a cause of your chest discomfort. Given the persistent symptoms and the radiating pain to your left arm, back, and abdomen, along with the shivering and tremors, it would be advisable to go ahead with the Troponin test to assess for any cardiac damage. This test can help determine if there has been any injury to the heart muscles. It is a crucial test in cases of suspected heart attack. In the meantime, continue taking the acidity and anxiety medications prescribed to you. Additionally, avoid trigger foods like chocolates that can exacerbate your GERD symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly
