This GBNC site has many Nepali professionals amongst its visitors. I am sure we can start several threads or "interest groups" so to speak on various issues. I am sure we will all benefit from the exchange of ideas on discussion groups involving law, politics, literature, technology, medicine etc. I would like to start a thread discussing medical issues that affect us Nepalis, in general, or personal questions people may have about certain ailments.
I will start of with the question of heart disease amongst us Nepalis. Is there anyone out there who knows the prevalence of this? I recently had a couple of middle-aged relatives pass away from massive heart attacks. I know heart disease is quite common amongst Indians. Genetics vs our food have been implicated. Any anecdotal or published information would be appreciated.
