The high presence of potassium in pineapple juice results in better blood pressure numbers. It is also low in sodium which makes it beneficial for hypertension patients.

My friend's mom has had two heart valve replacement surgeries, and they've found another leak in the valve. The doctors have said doing another surgery isnt an option because her body can't handle it. Are there any other ways to deal with this situation? I'm really worried and would appreciate any advice you could provide.

Question

I'm really concerned about my husband's health lately. He's been experiencing sharp chest pain in the middle of his chest whenever he does cardio, but it stops as soon as he takes a break. This all started after he slept in a wrong position for about an hour. We're a bit unsure whether to consult a cardiologist or a pulmonologist. Could you provide some guidance on what might be causing this issue and which specialist we should reach out to?
