What Is The Use Of Drinking 2 Glasses Of Water In The Morning?
Hi,
I've heard that drink 2 glasses of water in the morning, 1+1/2 before meals, and 1 glass before going to bed...Are they one of the best way to prevent heart failure or heart attack???
I am a 72 years old woman with some problems as: A minor stroke in 2001 from 5 micro blood vessels, I am still taking Diovan 80g/day; a hypo Thyroid which I am taking Thyroid everyday; a very tiny breast cancer of 7mm in 2010 which the lympho node has been removed and I am on Tamoxiphen (1/day) which my doctor said I should stop taking it and I don't need to come for any mammogram or anything else...then after this coming month of June, I don't need to come for a visit @ that cancer any longer! I know Tamoxiphen is very bad to take whilst I am taking those mentioned pills.
Could you please show me what should I do.,
Thank you

Hello there,
The drinking water may help you have a better evacuation of your bowels and reduce straining but there is no evidence linking it to heart attacks or stroke. This message was circulated on social networks but has no scientific basis.
Tamoxifen is prescribed in women if the have a tendency to have estrogen sensitive receptor cancers. You must have had the breast cancer of this type and hence this will reduce the risk of you having a recurrence. For your age you have fairly well controlled symptoms. I would still urge you to follow a controlled exercise regime to help you lead a more fulfilling life,
Thank you for your query. i would gladly answer any more concerns that you have.
