I believe that mine is 138. I have read recently that aspirin helps prevent the clotting part. I just turned 54. I started blood pressure meds years ago. I also have taken around 2000 to 3000 mg of vitamin C since my 20s on the advice of my dentist. I am taking L-lysine in the same dose now. I am also starting lifting weights and near a blackbelt in karate. I have read that they have a medicine similar to a once a year vaccine that will knock Lpa down by 93% that should be available in about a year. Stay active and enjoy your life. We have no guarantees.
