peanut butter?

I had a peanut butter sandwich this morning and a glass of milk (cheesey huh?) because I was going to eat dinner at my in-laws today and didn't want to fill up. I've been having this strange pain on...

Chest pain is never something to take lightly, however a pain that goes away as fast as it can be is most likely a spasm or heartburn. You should see your doctor to find out exactly what it is. In...

High Blood Pressure ("HPB") is not considered a form of heart-disease however it is a VERY major contributing factor. I should also like to point out that sustained levels of high blood pressure...

If it is Sinus Tachycardia they will likely just give you a very mild beta-blocker (5-15mg) and send you on your way. Sinus Tach is not life threatening (98% of the time) and usually the only way to...

The PPI is to reduce the reflux so that any harm caused by the refluxing of acid can heal. Prematurely stopping may be counter-productive....
