Are eggs bad for cholesterol?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Eggs contains high cholesterol but it doesn't seems to raise cholesterol the way other cholesterol foods do. You may consume them in moderation and can prefer only egg white also as it contains only proteins.

View allI'm wondering about continuing with corbis bisoprolol 5 mg, which I've been taking for a decade now. My blood pressure is normal, and my pulse is hanging around 60. I'm aware that bisoprolol can lower heart rate, and even though I'm not experiencing any issues, I'm curious whether I should consult a doctor about switching medications because of the lower pulse rate. How long is it generally okay to stay on corbis if I'm not having any problems?

I've been experiencing some weird sensations when I wake up early in the morning. It feels like something is fluttering in my chest or heart, and I get really uneasy with mild breathlessness and sometimes feel light-headed. My pulse seems to stay between 60 to 80, and my oxygen level is usually at 99, but I find myself swallowing suddenly and taking deep breaths without realizing it. My blood pressure was 9762 the first time I checked and 10869 the second time, with a pulse of 73. I had an ECG, 2D echo, and troponin tests done about a month ago, and they were all normal. I dont have any thyroid issues, and my lipid profile and haemogram were also normal. Even my chest X-ray from a month ago didn't show anything out of the ordinary. Now and then, I have a mild cough, and my lips get really dry when I wake up. I even heard a mild wheezing sound when I laughed. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing these sensations?
since all your tests are normal, kindly don't worry

I'm really worried because my heart rate is usually at 100 or above. I check it by counting the pulse on my neck, and it comes out to be something like 24 to 27 pulses in 15 seconds, which is more than 100 when I calculate it for a minute. I have a history of panic attacks that started back in 2015 with a very fast heartbeat, and I was told it might have been due to acid reflux. It happened again in 2019. I'm really scared of traveling, especially late at night during long journeys. I get these terrible thoughts about what if I have an attack and theres no one around to help, like if the train is passing through a jungle. These thoughts just make my heart race even more, and I end up feeling extremely scared. Can you please help me understand what's going on and how I can handle this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety, especially given your history of panic attacks. The rapid heartbeat you are feeling could be related to anxiety and stress. To help manage your symptoms, I recommend trying relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. In terms of medication, you can consider taking a beta-blocker such as Propranolol. Start with a low dose of 10mg once daily, and you can increase it as needed under medical supervision. Beta-blockers can help reduce heart rate and physical symptoms of anxiety. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
