Letter from Doc says try exercise and diet but otherwise start Lipitor
suggestions? personal experiences?
4 years ago my readings were:
Chol 277
HDL 38
Triglyceride 151
Direct LDL 188.
Doctor recommended Simvastatin due to family history, 3 months later, with no change in diet or exercise the readings were:
Chol 177
HDL 38
Triglyceride 159
Direct LDL 100.
The last lab tests this past Fall were:
Chol 158
HDL 45
Triglyceride 102
Direct LDL 93.
Still no significant change in diet or exercise, only $48/year spent on Simvastatin.
