@mthomasb- I couldn't have said it better! I also would encourage to do as much research on what we've got to deal with in a very proactive way. I've spent a bunch of time looking not only at the few drugs that I will probably be taking the rest of my life, but also there are several supplements that I have learned will be helpful for me to take. My cardiologist things most of this produces expensive pee, but I disagree. Each of us has to find what seems to help us (but do no harm) and even if we feel better about ourselves because this, it will give us a better sense of self. We've been through something that was very traumatic and we have to do what helps us deal with our current situation. Live everyday to its fullest because we never have any guarantees what tomorrow has in store. Be thankful! @thankful.

Thanks so much for the advice.

What type of supplements are you taking, if I may ask?

For prescribed meds, i currently only take metropolol and lipitor. In addition to this, i take probiotics, c10q, fish oil, and vitamins b (compound), d, and e. Stay away from l-arginine - its been found to actually exacerbate heart problems.

No problem. Also, the vitamins i mentioned are in addition to a good, general multi-vitamin.

@mmurphy_43 Well, I have tried several, but am taking supplements such as Max-Q10 Ultra which contains 200 mg CoQ10, 800 IU of vitamin B-12, 200 mg of L-carnitine fumarate, 100 mg Omega marine algae, 50 mg of Reservatrol, 10 mg Bio PQQ and 5 MG BioPerine black pepper extract. (this is available in a single gel cap from Stop Aging Now, but there are several other areas that sell something very similar).
I take a Prostate supplement called OptiProstate XTS from Stop Aging Now.
I take a supplement called Cholesterol 360 that is also from Stop Aging Now.
And I take Super Omega EPA, Cardiovascular Support that contains 360 EPA & 240 DHA omega 3 fatty acids by NOW.
I have done much research and have found that these supplements really seem to help me in many ways.
I also exercise 3x a week in a gym doing 50- 60 mins. of cardio and 25-30 mins. of resistance training and weather permitting take a walk the other 3-4 days for a hr.
My goal is to get my 10,000 steps in (our kids gave us a fitbit last year) every day. Sometimes in bad weather I can be seen marching as I watch the evening news 🙂

Your supplement and exercise routines sound great. You have given me incentive to do a little more. Thx
