I must caveat I have gained weight the last 10yrs, over 30lbs. My bloodwork was not as favorable (still in ranges accepted) until I started watching what I eat a month ago, and started the statin, baby aspirin. I still exercised (not as frequently however) during this weight gain. Also, my grandma passed away of a heart attack at 49. So there is that (this is the only relative I'm aware of)

It is just really, really stressful (of which your told to manage :)) right now while I wait to hear what the cardiologist tells me, and my next steps I am to take.

Jaxson,

It's good for you to know your stats - gives you targets for action.

Like many of us, me included, weight is a potential issue and within our control ... so, let's all get busy and reduce the weight!

Given the readout, does your cardiologist want to "take a peek" (a surgeon friend of mine uses this term)? Catheterization to examine and, if necessary, place a stent?
