My story goes like this.
Prior to Xmas did the test you do when your 50, blood work, prostate thing, check up. Wait for results, between holidays received note from Doc to make an appointment to speak about results, not urgent.
Okay after holidays I'll make a visit.
Jan 2/07 pain in chest! Hospital right away, heart attack!!!!
1 artery 100% blocked, insert 2 stents and 1 hr later I'm in recovery.
Results of my cholesterol now forwarded by my Doctor, total cholesterol 699!!! TGs 490!! HDL 100!! LDL not done since numbers were so far from normal.

I'm home now feeling better but not encouraged since I am on Lipitor and the future does not appear bright.

I'm 51, my dad was 57 with the first heart attack with a total of 3, my mom was 57 with the first attack also had 3. My granddad was 57 had his first.

Will visit family doctor later this month for a check up.

Thanks all
Larry
