Anyone else out there with extremely high lipoprotein (a)?

Hello, my Lp(a) is 271 and I also have very high genetic LDL. I am meeting with my pharmacist next week to discuss the best treatment for me and I have an appointment with my doc on the 3rd. I will definitely be put on a statin but I wanted to ask you how your husband handled the Repatha, did he experience any bad side effects and is it a drug that has to be continued until there are treatments approved for lowering Lp(a)? Thank you.

As we are snowbirds, we will travel down Alaska- Florida in October and then get lab work done again and see if we still need Repatha, no side effects at all.
