[QUOTE="zand, post: 2441629, member: 85197"] Have you lost weight? It's normal for cholesterol to rise temporarily when you lose weight. Do you know what your cholesterol figures are? Chances are they didn't do a full lipid panel. The triglycerides figure is the most important one. Your doctor probably wants to put you on statins. Ask for the test results first and let us see them, then you can make an informed decision. Cholesterol is good and necessary for life it helps combat inflammation in the body. If the doctor insists on statins ask for a coronary calcium artery scan first. It's plaque that causes strokes and heart attacks not cholesterol [/QUOTE]
