What are the heart disease causes & risk factors?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
With time, raised blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control the heart. Additionally, people with diabetes are also more likely to have other conditions that raise the risk for heart disease such as high blood pressure and deranged cholesterol or triglyceride levels.

View allWhy are my blood pressure readings different between my arms? When I check my left arm, it's 12080, but my right arm shows 13080. I'm using an Omron monitor, which I believe is pretty accurate. Should I be worried about these differences?
Having slightly different blood pressure readings between arms is not uncommon and is usually not a cause for concern. However, if there is a consistent and significant difference in blood pressure readings between arms, it may indicate underlying health issues such as peripheral artery disease or other cardiovascular problems. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and monitoring. In the meantime, you can continue to monitor your blood pressure regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I'm a bit concerned because this morning and afternoon I noticed I'm having some trouble with shortness of breath and some on-and-off pain in my left armpit area. I went for a 4 km walk this evening and felt a bit better afterward, with not as much shortness of breath. Could these symptoms be related to my recent COVID recovery a few months ago? I used fabiflu, dolo, and multivitamins during that time. Also, I've had gastric issues that seem to have worsened post-COVID, and I'm on suloxid o for that. What could be going on with me?
take pantop 40 mg for 3days
