Any Suggestions?
I have a 16 yr. old son with high cholesterol (220 first test, 166 second test). We recently meet with lipid specialist to discuss diet and exercise. His good cholesterol is too low and the bad is too high. He has not made any changes to his eating habits and everytime I try to discuss it with him his response is "I know." Any suggestions on how to get through to him about the seriousness. The specialist told us him he has the makings of plaque build up in the arteries if he doesn't change things now. They also say he has early signs of diabetes.
Plavix
How long do you heart healthy people usually stay on Plavix after drug-eduding stents? I know it's up to the doctor but just wondering how long I'll have to stay black and blue?
High Blood Pressure
Any tips on how to naturally lower high blood pressure? I was layed off from my job and can't afford any medications but actually losing my job has lowered my blood pressure quite a bit already. Now I am able to get decent amount of sleep where before I was lucky to get 5 or 6 hours due to a long commute but the unemployment pay sucks LOL.
Dry Cough
I have had a dry cough it's a result of a new high blood pressure medicine. Does any one have this problem? I got some meds for acid reflux. It's so annoying when I break out in this cough.
