Does Hormone Replacement Therapy After Menopause Pose A Risk Of Heart Disease?
Can taking hormone replacement therapy after menopause be bad for the heart? I have been having sporadic minor chest pain. I am athletic, 55 years old, but sit at a desk 9 hours a day on a computer. Could it just be cramping from sitting in chair for long time periods?
