Lemons and Blood Pressure
Eating lemons can be a healthy addition to your diet, but they are unlikely to significantly lower blood pressure on their own. They are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which support heart health.
Lifestyle Recommendations
a. Balanced Diet: Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and reduce salt intake.
b. Physical Activity: Engage in regular exercise.
c. Healthy Weight: Maintain a healthy body weight.
d. Limit Alcohol and Avoid Tobacco: These can impact blood pressure.
Consult Healthcare Provider
If you have high blood pressure, follow your healthcare provider's advice, which may include medications and specific dietary recommendations. Discuss any concerns with your doctor.

Question

I'm 32 and recently had an ECG done for ICL eye surgery my heart rate was around 120-127. I don't have any health issues, heart pain, or abnormalities, and my full-body checks since 27 always show a heart rate in the 120 range. Is this a serious problem, and can I still go ahead with the ICL surgery? I've attached my report for reference.

Question

I'm having some trouble with mild heart palpitations and anxiety, so my cardiologist put me on Telma 40 and propranolol 40 mg. The good news is my palpitations and angina are gone since starting propranolol, but now I'm experiencing some erection issues. I'm wondering, could I switch from propranolol to Nevivolol? Or would it be okay to take tadalafil along with the propranolol? Could you give me some advice on these two options?

Question

I'm feeling like there's a weight on my chest, and every so often, it really hurts. I've had COVID twice but I'm on the mend now. I was thinking of getting a chest x-ray, but I noticed there are different kinds, like AP view and lateral view. I'm not sure which one I should go for. Can you help?
