My heart doctor didn’t even worry about cholesterol...... said it has no effect on the heart
Well, I’d like to know—I just turned hit senior-citizen status, and was welcomed by a significant stroke. Never had high-BP or cholesterol problems, am not obese by any means, but I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis years ago. Long story short, the docs put me on statins after the stroke, and I have been through three varieties because it seemed to worsen my arthritis. I quit and now my cholesterol is high?
Now, I’m back on them, but I see no benefit other than a number. Still think the drugs are worse than not taking them.
