Yeah bro it is scary, especially when you hear about Mike Matarrazzo havin 2 heart attacks and having to get quadruple bypass surgery cuz all his arteries were 100% blocked. And he was 38 I believe when that started. Or Don Younglood at 51, dead of a massive heart attack.
But Matarrazzo was eating 5 lbs of red meat every day for years , all that cholesterol cant be good, especially when you're on a bunch of shiit. Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.
And to my knowledge they didnt give me any medication to lower my heart rate. But I could be wrong, they had all kinds of shit goin in and out of my IV.
My LDL cholesterol was low , so thats good. But I really only eat red meat once or twice a week. I switched to mostly all white meat or fish and just have a steak when I go out. I also get in a decent amount of fiber every day, which helps to lower it.
We're gettin older but I think we can still be fine, just gotta be smart about our diets, do some cardio, and stick to low/moderate doses.
I would also recommend getting a stress test, its alot better than an EKG because they can see your valves and arteries and every area of your heart, to make sure everything is working properly. So if you did have a problem they could catch it before its too late. And get your cholesterol levels checked so you can rework your diet if you need to.
Even though I was scared shiitless at the time, Im actually glad I had it done now.
Oh and also remember to take an aspirin every day, every doctor I talked to recommended it for guys our age.
