Gipsiefire, I'm sorry that you don't have any health insurance. IMO, that is one of the big problems we face right now in the U.S. However, there are some things you can (and need) to do on your own. Since you have already had one heart attack, why haven't you stopped smoking? I know it's extremely difficult, but we're talking about your life here!! If you continue to smoke, you are dramatically increasing your risk for a repeat heart attack. If you continue to do what you did in the past, you will end up with the same results in the future. I would recommend:
1)Read "The 8 Week Cholesterol Cure" by Robert Kowalski.
2)Stop smoking
3)Start walking around the block and eventually increase to 2 miles/day
4)Eat plenty of fruits/vegetables, get plenty of fiber and drink lots of water.
5)Get to a doctor and have your cholesterol checked regularly, even if you have to pay yourself or use your credit card. That way, you can monitor your progress. In fact, you could use the money that you once spent on cigarettes to pay for the checkups to your doctor.
