Big Bore, I wasn’t feeling myself about 3 years ago. Went to the Primary Doc and it turned out my cholesterol was 370. He said it was the highest he had seen for a 24 year old. Been on Atorvastatin ever since. I’m currently on 80mg and was checked about a year ago at age 26. High cholesterol runs in the family plus I probably don’t eat great. Cholesterol was down to 220. Do you think I’m good to go down to 40mg or should I stay on 80? Is it normal to you for someone in their 20s to have this high of cholesterol. My checkup is in a few weeks but curious what you think as my doc is a bit of a lib and believes the Covid vax will fix everything…
That is rare but at least you know. Now that you know, you can act on it. Agressively treating hyperlypodemia ( high cholesterol) is one of the best ways to control heart disease. Primary care docs do a good job. However, I would see a cardiologist and let them manage your situation. For sure. They are on the cutting edge of the meds for your condition too.
