Is peanut butter good for high blood pressure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Peanut butter has fiber and proteins which are healthy and few studies showed that it can reduce mean diastolic blood pressure. And as long as they don't contain hydrogenated fat, nut butters including peanut butter won't cause problems for your cholesterol levels too.

I've been experiencing times when my breathing stops while I'm asleep, and my heart rate drops below 55, which sometimes makes me feel dizzy. I'm not very active, and my weight is normal. I'm wondering if these could be signs of a heart problem. Can you give me some advice on what might be happening?
Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with these palpitations for the past three years. I've gone through all the heart-related tests like ECG and 2Decho, and everything seems to be normal. I recovered from jaundice about five years ago, and I don't smoke or drink or have insomnia. But every time I eat or lie down comfortably, I start feeling this sensation in my throat and the back of my head. My blood pressure is typically around 12585, and my pulse is usually 100. But after meals, my BP creeps up to 13590, and my pulse hits 120. Doctors have suggested I take propranolol 10mg, but it doesnt seem to help. What could be going on?
Considering your symptoms and the ineffectiveness of propranolol, you may benefit from a calcium channel blocker such as Verapamil. I recommend taking Verapamil 120mg twice daily to help control your palpitations and regulate your heart rate. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help manage your symptoms.
