Re: Do You Experts Think I NEED Lipitor?????

I agree with the others. With an HDL of 93 and trigs 66 I would not risk the side effects of a statin and I take one myself. My HDL was in the low 30's and trigs were 160 when my blockage was found. My total cholesterol was 183 so I think you can see the difference here. Even with a total cholesterol below 200 I got into trouble. That was a risk factor in itself from what I understand. Remember that all medications have side effects! I would just continue with what you are doing now.
