[QUOTE="sh1973, post: 169448, member: 17540"] I wanted to get some feedback from any members that are or have taken statins. My cholesterol has been in the 210-240 range since my early 20s. My HDL is normally 55-60 and triglycerides in the 60-80 range. I’m not overweight, don’t smoke, drink occasionally, no family history of heart disease, no diabetes, exercise at least 30 minutes daily. The only medication I take is cypionate 60mg per week. My doctor has really been pushing for the last year for me to get on a Statin to get my LDL down which was 153 last week when I had it checked. I’ve heard nothing but bad things about statins but I’m sure there are people who use them successfully. I’m just not sure in my situation with no risk factors that I even need them. Any thoughts appreciated. [/QUOTE]
