Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

No problem from Cholesterol? - It is the one responsible for your heart attack!
You may try Cholestyramine (Questran) – a bile acid sequestrant (binds bile in the gastrointestinal tract
preventing absorption)
Life style changes – diet and exercise / avoiding tobacco and alcohol – are important.
The treating doctor can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.

Good luck
Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
