Are carrots good for high blood pressure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The fiber and potassium in carrots may help manage blood pressure. The American Heart Association (AHA) encourage people to add less salt, or sodium, to meals, while eating more foods that contain potassium, such as carrots.

View allI'm a 29-year-old software engineer, and I've been feeling a bit worried about my TMT test results. I'm 5.6 inches tall and weigh 76kg, and I live a normal lifestyle without any addictions. Despite other cardiac tests like X-ray, 2D Echo, and Lipid Profile coming back normal, my TMT tests have been consistently showing a "Mildly Positive" remark. This has happened three times over the past year. Should I be concerned about these TMT results, or is it something I can keep an eye on without stressing too much?

I just got my mom's ECG report, and it says her QRS is 80 ms, and there's something about intraventricular conduction delay. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything we can do at home to help with it?
This delay can sometimes be a sign of underlying heart conditions. It is important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Unfortunately, there are no home remedies that can specifically address intraventricular conduction delays. It is crucial to follow the advice and treatment plan recommended by the cardiologist to ensure proper management of this condition.
