Elevated Cholesterol

[Carol0925]

Hello,

Just had my cholesterol results back and they are quite elevated. Just wondering whether anyone else has elevated Cholesterol and just taking Aspirin watch and wait? Fortunately my Triglycerides are good. I tried Atorvastatin in 2018 but had to stop after 6m due to severe muscle aches. No doubt my GP will be chasing this up with me. Being 66yrs this is obviously another risk factor too.

Would welcome any advice, support.

Suggest you read The Great Cholesterol Con by Dr Malcolm Kendrick. Very interesting read and it will help you to make sense of your results.
