Statins
I get a three monthly blood test for iron overload but this week the doctor advised me to get a
cholesterol
blood
test
as well. All of my results for
cholesterol
were within the ranges but my doc advised that it’s recommended I go on statins as my Qrisk2 score was above 20%.

Lipid test results on 10mg Rosuvastatin

Got the results back yesterday and GP advises not to change dose at the moment. Interesting to see how my stats have changed from being on 80mg
