Yes, I have high cholesterol. Then they did that calculation of chance of heart attack or stroke in next ten years. That was over 8%. So doctor said that I should be on statin. But I tried statin once and it made my legs hurt. So I didn't want a statin for rest of life. So doc said that I could get a calcium score which indicates plaque. My calcium score was 0 which means no plaque whatsoever which means no atherosclerosis. So that means the chance of heart attack or stroke is actually very low. So I don't need statin. Just because someone has high cholesterol doesn't mean the person has plaque. So I came to conclusion that you can't just put someone on a statin based on blood cholesterol. Calcium score is more accurate. I'm in executive health program so I get a doctor that is a thinking and listening doctor. Plus I can get a CT scan for calcium score. But I don't think everyone is getting a calcium score and their docs are putting people like me on statins unnecessarily. That's my opinion.
