I’m sure she has you on statins for a start.
Are you able to do some cardio like walking for
20 minutes 6 days a week.?
The Mediterranean diet is effective. Your sleep habits,
socialization and stress reduction are all risks you can work on. Ask your doctor about supplements such as
fish oil or eat non fried fish frequently.Stevia,.turmeric and melatonin are antioxidant and anti inflammatory.
Have you had the comprehensive lipid test with lipoprotein a? Suggest a carotid Doppler to measure
for signs of atherosclerosis. In addition make sure
you have a comprehensive lipid check and lipoprotein a.
Follow up exams twice a year would be reasonable.
