elody,

Can you share your lipid numbers?

Doesn't sound like you've had stress test with echo, yet?

Advanced lipids panel appropriate?

Sure. 205 total. 60 HDL. 112 LDL. Triglycerides always run very high in our family, so 197, which is actually pretty good for me. This was on 10 mg of statin. I'm up to 40 mg now and would expect change. I rarely ate meat at all and we eat volumes of vegetables/have for years. I have also supplemented with psyllium for years and have now doubled that. I average about 14k steps a day either running or walking. No smoking. I did like wine or drinks, but that is pretty rare (like 2 drinks a month) these days.

Glad for the early warning and chance to increase meds/walk even more/cut out cheese and yolks.
