Cause her doctor lousy. My family went to UH. Our whole family got high cholesterol. Doctor said just eat the cholesterol medicine. But need to book appointment every few months to do blood test and checking. Cause will have super duper low chance that some people might have certain problem after taking the medicine. We are fine but if saw even a bit abnormal number, doctor will take action immediately so it doesn't develop into something more serious.

So, go to the best specialist you can find. Ask for his advice. Can tell him about your friend's mom case too. A good doctor will explain everything for you. Make sure got follow up, else change doctor.

Btw, regarding you saying that you can run 5km no problem. Having heart problem doesn't mean you will have symptoms. And you can still get heart attack even if you are very healthy after doing all the checking. Having a healthy heart means that in case you got stoke for whatever reason, you have a very very high chance of surviving it, without having side effects after the attack.
