I'm not sure my cardiologist would like that. My cholesterol is always low (~165) but because I have a bad heart (hereditary problem) he wants me taking an 81 mg aspirin every morning and 40 mg simvastatin every night. Now my cholesterol is ~95. Been doing it for 4 years. I'm getting a new cardiologist since we moved last month. I'll talk with him about my meds.
