[QUOTE="Deleted member 308541, post: 2070520"] I have been on statins (Crestor / Rosuvastatin) for a bit over five years, I have not experienced side effects from them so guess I have been lucky. I asked my GP about stopping taking them as my cholesterol readings have been good, he passed the buck and said ask the cardiologist that put you on them in the first place. So a week tomorrow I will ask him (the Cardiologist) about still taking them or not. There's nothing wrong with my fasting blood test results from last week. A quick copy and paste from here. [URL]http://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php[/URL] Total Cholesterol 3.70 mmol/L HDL (High density lipoprotein) 1.75 mmol/L LDL (Low density lipoprotein) 1.54 mmol/L Triglycerides 0.89 mmol/L Your Total Cholesterol of 3.70 is DESIRABLE Your LDL of 1.54 is OPTIMAL Your HDL of 1.75 is OPTIMAL Your Triglyceride level of 0.89 is NORMAL RATIOS: Your Total Cholesterol/HDL ratio is: 2.11 - (preferably under 5.0, ideally under 3.5) IDEAL Your HDL/LDL ratio is: 1.136 - (preferably over 0.3, ideally over 0.4) IDEAL Your triglycerides/HDL ratio is: 0.508 - (preferably under 1.74, ideally under 0.87) IDEAL.
