[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 511107, member: 11028"] Statins were suggested to me when my own cholesterol went above 4, my consultant thought like yours that they would act as a preventative measure, however my gp disagreed and said as I had very good cholesterol levels and had recently undergone tests for angina that came back all clear it would be of no interest to myself to take them at that present time, when I went back to see my consultant my cholesterol had dropped to below 4 and we agreed to review things at a later date. All that was 3 years ago and my cholesterol is still under 4 and statins have not been mentioned since, however if my cholesterol levels did start to climb I would certainly consider taking a statin, both my mother and brother took statins and my brothers cholesterol reduced from 9 down to 3, [/QUOTE]
