Close Coronary Heart Disease

I had a mild heart attack in Jan of this year due to a small amount of plaque found in my right artery. I now have a stint there. It was a real shock because I didn't fit the profile for a heart attack. I don't smoke, drink, I didn't have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. I am overweight though. I'm now having to take a lot of medications and I don't like it. I'm even on meds for high blood pressure and cholesterol as a precaution from having another episode. Get so depressed about it.
