Not knowing the shape of your cardiovascular system, I don't know the best recourse, but I'd say a healthy diet beats statins any day. Focus on the fruits and vegetables, go easy on the meat, and eat loads of garlic. They're good mantras for heart health. I hope you get good feedback from your follow ups and can get on top of things without the drugs. I don't blame you for being sceptical, but I do believe we can turn a lot of things round with the power of nutrition. Happy to chat if you want to. I've studied this quite extensively.
