[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1169154, member: 21149"] Hi. You need to ask the surgery what your lipids breakdown is e.g. LDL and HDL readings and also your Trigs. This breakdown tells you much more than total cholesterol reading which is fairly meaningless and probably what the doc is using. If you Google the web you will find endless debates about the pros and cons of statins and cholesterol. If you LDL, HDL and Trigs ratios are not good then statins may be relevant, but otherwise unless you have a family history of heart problems then there may be no reason to take statins. [/QUOTE]
