Hello everyone I am new to this forum and happy to find some support here. I have just been given my cholestrol level which is 8.5 and doctor has given me 40mg avrostatins to lower it. He says it must be genetic as I exercise at the gym 5 days a week, walk average of 8k steps a day and my BMI is in the healthy range. I am quite upset by this finding as it looks as if I am forced to take statins for the rest of my life. I hate taking meds of any sort. I am 72. Has anyone else been in this situation? I find it quite scary. Thanks for reading.
