Default LDL Cholesterol

My LDL Cholesterol is 430 and I'm 61 years old. My doctor is mailing me meds
for it. She said to lower my carobs. She didn't say anything about weight,
celeries, fats, etc. So I really don't want to die and I'm a good candate
for a heart attack or a stroke. I got the info tonight and I'm even afraid
to eat. So I guess I should change my diet big time like eat fresh fruits
and veggies for a month and nothing else. I don't think much of doctors when
it comes to things like this but I do know I can't go to taco bell or eat
Sundays anymore. No bread, pasta, rice, or potatoes. Any advice would be
appreciated.

Richard, BEFORE you take these medicaments, try the low-carb diet
first and have the LDL Cholesterol tested after. Who knows, its level
may as well be OK afterwards. Medicaments may help you with the
cholesterol, but may have side-effects which means you will damage
other organs which does not put you in a much better situation. Be
aware of anything produced in a lab that you'll put in your body.
Don't play too much with nature because after all, she is the "big
boss".
