A member asked:
Had heart attack 5months ago double by pass done cholesterol level 176 blood pressure 116/62 is it possible to have another heart attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes; keep healthy!: Yes, but not necessarily soon. It seems you had clogged arteries, and surgery bypassed some of the more clogged areas. There are other areas that are likely less clogged, though still clogged, that were not bypassed. These areas can present a problem in the future. You are doing the right things by keeping BP and cholesterol down; with your doctor's guidance, try to add some diet and exercise!
