[QUOTE="rhino5169, post: 67496, member: 14708"] So my cardiologist wants me on Prevastatin, low dose of 20mg. I was previously on lipitor but havent been for 1.5 years. I have 2 stents, first one put in when i was late 30's so he considers me as having early age cvd. My numbers are pretty good, he mostly wants me on it to prevent heart attack / stroke as the statin will harden arterial plaque that is soft which has more of a chance to rupture vs when it hardens against the artery wall. Ive read a lot but just looking for any more helpful info. I really dont want to go back on any meds, especially statins because of side effects but if it may help avert something catastrophic i may have to give in. [/QUOTE]
