Question:

Stress Test? I'm 44 with an exceptional blood test outcome. Why the automatic push?

My bad cholesterol was 40 points higher than what is reguarded as upper limit O.K.-(bad). My doctor is pushing a test that will ultimately cost me a month's wages. I'll stop the 'butter and eggs' thinking that in doing so will bring things back into balance.


Answers:

Can your doctor recommend both diet and medication changes first? There are cholesterol meds out there that can complement diet and exercise.

Also, some insurance will cover a stress test if it is prescribed by a doctor. Depends on your carrier, check with them first.
