Nothing on genetics..............??

If your predisposed genetically then your screwed! My father had four heart attacks before the age of 52 and dropped dead on the 15th fairway of his favorite golf course in LaCoste California at age 53. He was not a good candidate for the then experimental open heart surgery, so with nitro in his pocket he knew he was finished! He golfed til he died. I being always thin and athletic inherited his bad genes and out of no where had a quadruple bypass at the age of 50! I was active with four arteries each 95% blocked! I was prescribed Lipitor but moved onto Simvistatin after that. With a daily cocktail of Lisinispril, Atenolol, Niaspan and the statin, a baby aspirin, vitamin D, folic acid and a multi-vitamin, I am a walking drug billboard.

You want to feel like you got whacked across thew head? Take a Viagra!

My bad cholesterol goes no higher than 40, but my good cholesterol despite the heavy fish and vegetable diet and exercise stays low...............genetics speaking.

I will take some of the fatigue and dizziness that comes from what I take daily to keep me going. But I also put into perspective that I am soon to be 65 years old and do not expect my body to behave like I was in my 20's. From being an active sailor, taking on big home improvement projects alone and working on my Porsche I think I am doing quite well these days.

I will always take the medication, but if you like me are victim to some bad genes handed down, be the wiser and take control of it with whatever measure you see fit.
