Hello all, my name is AP. Two weeks ago, I had an angioplasty done, I had one stent put in my LAD. Apparently it was 90% blocked, I am 46 years old, never smoked, vegetarian, but not the best diet in last 5 to 10 years. Could have been better. Not overweight, cholosterol at 200, but not outrageous. Yes, I did have a grandfather that passed away in his early 50's due to a heartattack.
Little bit more about me, I have two young boys ages 4,2. I have changed my routine already, and started to walk daily of 3/4 miles. But can't get my head wrapped around the fact, I had to go through this procedure at an early age. Yes, I am on meds (Statin/Blood thinner), but can't wrap my head around on root issue, as it could be stress as the months of Covid has taken a toll caring for boys, working and my diet.
But looking for any insights/suggestions. As I am trying to be positive.
