Hello dear,
Omega and garlic pills are useful in heart patients as it reduce blood cholesterol
Garlic contain sulfur compounds: you should take 1 g/day , it will reduce cholesterol if you will take regularly for 8-12 week.
It decrease blood pressor, cholesterol and it has also anti bacterial and anti fungal activity.

Again omega fatty acid reduce cholestrol by up regulating LDL receptor ao more taken up of LDL from circulation.
It has also vasodilator and platele anti aggregation action that prevent clot formation in heart arteries.
So take regular omega and garlic pill.

Hope this may help you.
Stay healthy.
Wish you good health.
Take care
