Ask the Doctor. My older brother recently had a heart attack and bypass surgery at the age of 53! I am physically active and don t have any risk factors for heart disease. But neither did my brother, who also had normal cholesterol and blood pressure numbers. I ve been wondering if I should be taking a cholesterol-lowering medication, even though my cholesterol is normal.
