[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2167227, member: 196960"] What are your chances of having a heart attack? Only you can assess that but if your wrong what happens to your damaged heart or worse? Myself I'm not taking a statin and hv mild heart disease. I come over as a lowish risk due to a low-mild CAD scan result however I get chest pains which my GP's hv results of its investigation. Even with an invasive angiogram. I was advised to exercise more but I'm limited to basic levelled exercise due to pain and continuing chest pains with palpitations. I'm awaiting an ultrascan to investigate abdominal pains. AGAIN. IRRESPECTIVE of investigations I'm not well unless I'm in less pain so I can walk, even aided. I know my body needs to be able to move freely but it doesn't and I cannot function so slow to a stop, with young children in my care. So aided and pushed to my limits is sometimes the best I can do. Although this is only approximately 5% of MY old 'normal' capability. I'm happy not to take stations as I never feel right when I do take them. I feel numb in my forearms and hands, very peculiar. We are all different so try and reduce your cholesterol down more naturally. Mine is by walking if and when I can. Find what benefits you but please please don't risk your heart health. You can live with diabetes but with heart failure too it could get miserable. [/QUOTE]
