Depending upon your age and estimated risk of heart disease actions to reduce the risk should be considered and you may want to ask your doctor about:
Aspirin, Vitamins, Weight and Exercise programs. There are many questions that you can ask regarding alcohol use or limitations, alternative or additional medications and how to know whether these each change that you make is helping.
Many articles and theories appear in the press each day. These can drive most people to distraction. This is especially true at a time in which we are making rapid strides in understanding many of the new technological advances. Even the risk of taking oral contraceptives or of estrogen therapy after menopause become subject to further evaluation. Feel free to have the doctor critique some of these observations or suggest which ones may be helpful. These may range from garlic tablets, to chelation “therapy” to fish oil. If you have a question about any of these, research it through reliable sources then ask your doctor.
