[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1931375, member: 94045"] The first thing you need to know is the break down of your cholesterol. You need to know Total HDL LDL Triglycerides Without all that information you can't really make any sort of decision about taking statins (and neither should your doctor) If you ring the receptionist you can ask for a print out of your last test results. These will include your cholesterol and hopefully a full breakdown. Are you in England? If so, your GP surgery should be putting test results on-line. You can ask if this is the case and how to register for it. [/QUOTE]
