If you don't mind me asking, how old were you? I've never smoked and am pretty fit but struggle with weight (270) and eating properly...I'm 35 and starting to feel like I am on a short countdown to do something about it.

I'm 53, which is young fror the trouble I had.....but you can have a heart attack at any age.

I'm a big guy, 5' 11", now I panic when I go over 200 lbs............I quick walk 5 kms a day, the last bit of which includes a 51 step outdoor staircase........which I run up 5 times.

I refuse to get religious about food......but I eat a LOT less beef and butter........more fish..........

Do it now.

Far too many people don't survive the first one.........get your cholesterol checked.......

Believe me, bypass ain't fun.

I have a foot long scar on my chest, about 18" scar down the inside of my right thigh, and a pain in the chest panics me, and I don't scare easily.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I've heard of a few cases of people younger than me dying of heart attacks...not good.

My cholesterol is high for my age but not high enough to be medicated so I am trying to cut back.
