Hi there.
I am 37 years old man. My height is 180 cm and width is 100 cm. My weight is at 80 kgf. My dad died at his age, 54 due to sudden hearth attack and mom has cardiac failure. She got stent since 5 years ago and now she has used cholesterol and high tension medicines for 5 years. My LDL is at 231, HDL is at 38 and total cholesterol amount is at 305. Please tell me if I have risk of heart attack. Should I use cholesterol pills? or see a doctor?
thank you for reply...
