Way too high lipo/Apo/LdL - breastfeeding mom
I am 34(f) and 6 month post pregnant. I come from a family of heart disease where my father had bypass early 50, paternal aunt at 40 and maternal aunts died of cardiac arrests at 60+. I was always cautious of my cholesterol/diet and this is first time getting lipo/Apo— I feel like I am on a ticking time-bomb now and too anxious. I had vaginal delivery with 3 hours pushing. I feel my heart might have gone through hell shit and might now in the verge of end! I am still breastfeeding my baby - not sure statin works. I am vegetarian all my life and saturated fat consumption was up and down over time, more carb diet. I do oat meal/chia seeds and less on soluble fiber - will work to increase it more. My physician asked to wait for another 6 months, change diet and exercise in the meantime,
I am too anxious right now to think all through this and I want to live for my baby.
Please please share your experience/thoughts. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
