Cholesterol and Heart disease?

I have been sick for more than 3 months. I have some good days and mostly bad. I had not gotten sick in 20 yrs except for maybe a sniffle.
I can't take hardly any meds at all. For pain or anything really.
I had a blood test done. My Dr. said I have high cholesterol/ heart disease. My chest hurts everyday as if someone punched me, it is hard to breath sometimes and I get dizzy. I have no appetite. I am loosing weight but my Cholesterol is high. EKG? had been ran and it was ok.
Dr tried 3 different meds to lower my cholesterol and everyone I am allergic to. Now they say well we cannot do anything else for you. On top of that, I have no insurance since I have been so sick and have no worked. Grant it I am under a lot of stress, and have good reason to be. I try to keep my chin up hoping for some breakthrough. However when a Dr. tells you there is nothing we can do anymore what I am to say? Did they do all they were suppose to? Please someone help! is there someone i can talk to? Im 44

Have a read of the wiki page

There are dietary measures you can try

Exercise reduces cholesterol Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hypercholes...

I am older than you but have high cholesterol also. I was tried on several different meds. not allergic but they just didn't work for me. Finally Dr. tried me on Vytorin & it lowered my numbers by more than 60 pts. I don't know if that is one you have tried or not but is the only one that has helped me. Sounds as if you're in real trouble with your heart. Have they suggested an angioplasty with a stent? If so, let them do it. It really does help. Good luck to you & God Bless.
I am sorry you are so sick. There is a diet that was devevloped by Dr. Kempnter in 1939,from DukeUniversity Medical Program..It was designed to help prevent and/or treat hypertension,diabetes,obesity,... disease.If you just type in Rice Diet. You will have enough sites to set up a coheisive program for yourself. I lost 8 pounds the first week I tried it. and after 4 days I found my self no longer wheezing and being able to breathe better. After 2 weeks I had lost 15 pounds. At first I was hungry but once you get into the groove it gets easy. I found if you rotated the 1st,2nd, and 3rd weeks into days and you just kept doing this over and over ,this program was definately doable. Good Luck.
