Walking an hour a day realy is known for helping out with all the major health issues.It sounds like you need to go on a reversal diet regimen. The main problem is coronary desease. Very tough for most people to adhere to a reversal diet Every small change helps. The chol. kit tested out to be very accurate.

Monday, February 11, 2008 at 12:28 AMHi Rhona - thanks for your post. I'm a moderator for the site and though not medically trained, I hope to answer your questions or guide you in the right direction to get them.
It sounds like you were not comfortable with the answer you got form your physician. I;m thinking by now you have gone back and addressed your concern again. If not you really should. Sometimes we think doctors cannot be bothered and they really are just super busy and maybe in that moment not giving their full attention. I could be wrong but you really sould go back and talk again. Its so important for patients to be comfortable with the doctors they are with.
ow as far as your question - we have a few areas on the site that I think will be of interest to you. First check out our treatment section to give you an idea of what is out there. As well, see out life style changes and our question and answer section - a few are concerning Lipitor.
Finally, you might want to read about heart health on our sister site Heart Central.
Hope this helps - all th best, sue
