By the way, doctor... Exercise: nothing to fear. I'm 62, pretty trim, but I don't particularly enjoy exercise. My wife keeps telling me I need to be more physically active. But I've heard of several people who died during or shortly after exercise. If I don't need to lose weight, why should I expose myself to danger doing something I don't enjoy?

Ask the doctor. Even though my weight and health are fine (good blood pressure and cholesterol), my doctor and my partner want me to be more active. But I don't like exercise, and I've heard of people dying while they exercise. Why should I bother doing something that isn't totally safe?Harv Heart Lett. 2003 Nov;14(3):8. Harv Heart Lett. 2003.

By the way, doctor...I'm a few years past menopause, and I take a statin because of high cholesterol. My doctor has broached the subject of whether I might need to take something else to lower my risk for osteoporosis, but I've read that statins help prevent that problem. Can't I tell the doctor I don't need another pill?Harv Health Lett. 2001 May;26(7):8. Harv Health Lett. 2001. PMID: 11424275 No abstract available.
