title: Ask the doctor. Every article you write on preventing heart disease or stroke mentions the importance of exercise. But I can't exercise due to severe lower back problems. I religiously take medications for my high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and low thyroid. There must be other people like me who can't exercise but really want to prevent heart trouble. Can you give us any suggestions?
