Well, it seems I can join the list too!
Total 8.5 (!), LDL 6.26, HDL 7.35.
I’m 42, bit overweight, otherwise healthy other than sleep deprived (young kids). Blood pressure fine, resting heart rate low, exercise several times a week.
I think I’m already doing most of the diet stuff and barely drink anything. The only extra stuff I can think of is, eat some nuts, change to skimmed milk for porridge (or avoid milk?), cut out choc bars.
Is it worth trying that??
or just go straight to the statins??
The nurse seemed to think it was probably genetic and was pushing me towards starting statins straight away given high cholesterol for my age.
