Welcome to HCM

Need Life style changes - weight to normal / No tobacco or alcohol / Diet and exercise
Cholesterol can still be high, in spite of diet and exercise – because it is also manufactured in the liver – and that is determined by heredity.
For long life, the drug must be taken lifelong / we don't stop filling petrol for the car, because it is now running well...

Very safe – millions are taking, some even with normal cholesterol…
