Should I post questions related to how a hospital nurse in USA interprets labs or x-rays or diagnoses or discharge teaching for patients or ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Saving skills) or Med-Surg (Medical-Surgical) GI or anything else you want? Comment below with what you would like to see:

Alright Amithabh Anand I posted it as best as I could for now! But later this week I will take pictures of my personalized study materials and why I bought the app (american red cross pdf of acls) even though it sucks, it is always helpful for me to look at when I am on the road!

For example, if you have hypertension, you may need drugs to manage your blood pressure. If you have diabetes, you should take medications to control blood sugar. Some patients may need surgery or an implanted device to help the heart function.
Your healthcare provider may also recommend some lifestyle changes to help manage underlying conditions and keep your heart as healthy as possible:
Avoid alcohol, smoking and illegal drugs.
Exercise regularly. Start slowly, and always warm-up and cool down.
Limit salt intake. Most patients with heart failure should consume no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day.
Maintain a healthy weight. Track your weight, and report any sudden increases to your healthcare provider.
Participate in a cardiac rehab program.
