My cardiologist asked me to start taking Omega-3 fish oil capsules the second time I saw him. He's had me on them ever since, along with a compliment of prescription medications that I take for a specific health problem.
It's probably worth mentioning that my doc is one of the top cardiologists at the world famous Methodist Hospital in Houston. Which is sometimes referred to as "Dr. DeBakey's hospital," because of all the magnificent heart work he performed there well into his nineties.
Some people incorrectly assume that doctors at that level automatically reject any and all so-called alternative medicines, diet plans, vitamins, or exercise programs. Not my guy. He doesn't love all of them, nor does he rule all of them out.
Do you mind telling us your doctors name?
Did your cardiologist recommend a particular brand of Omega-3 fish oil capsules?
