Glad you survived it! I have genetically high LDL cholesterol and can’t take statins. My Triglycerides and HDL are good. I stay away from bacon and meat like it. Doc wants me under 120 pounds and I’m around 135 since I hurt my foot and she is NOT happy.
Do you have ultrasounds on your arteries? She has me do it occasionally to check for any blockages while they are easy to clear.
I had a Heart catheterization:

Ask your Doc about Zetia. Lowers LDL and is not a statin.
