[QUOTE="SOTR, post: 2379281, member: 538739"] Regarding cardiovascular problems, my GP is wanting to put me on statins, at least twice now. My cholesterol has never been high. Their reasoning seems to be 'our calculator shows you are at risk of a heart attack or stroke within the next ten years so let's put you on statins'. I am choosing not to take statins long term as no high cholesterol. I did take statins briefly, but after seeing a press report that that particular one was causing kidney damage I stopped. [/QUOTE]
