Will Garlic And Fish Oil Help With Controlling BP And Heart Rate?
Hi ihave a pt test tomorrow will garlic pills and fish oil be okay to take to help with blood pressure and heart rate Test is 3 minute step test 14 pushups and 14 situps They check blood pressure before first time I was on the high end and heart rate emidiatly after step test Thanks
Dear- thanks for using HCM, garlic is good to control BP but does not help heart rate. Fish oil helps to lower the bad cholesterol or LDL, does not help the blood pressure. However, both are very good for the heart. If you have been training for this test, your body will respond to it. I hope that my advise has been helpful. Dr.Sara
