One other thing many people are not aware of. I went to a heart doctor to see if he thought I was going to have a stroke or heart attack. He was very concerned how high my cholesterol was I told him it’s hereditary not a lot I can do. So he had me do an advanced lipid test. He said I scored a 4. He prefers 3.5 but considering how high my bad cholesterol is he said that’s not too bad. He said in bad cholesterol there is big fluffy kind (hereditary) that won’t do all the damage and in bad cholesterol there is the small that causes heart attacks and strokes. So he went one step further and had me do a calcium test to see if I was at risk. They scanned my chest and gave me a score of 1. 2 You want a score of 0-10. Anything higher you’re at great risk for a stroke or heart attack. He was really pleased with my score! See for some reason Doctors make bad cholesterol all bad and it isn’t!! It’s basically so they can jam statins down your throat and make money for pharmaceutical companies and wouldn’t be surprised if pcp are getting a kick back also. Everyone should get a advanced lipid test my insurance covered and the calcium screen which insurance does not cover. Mine cost $100.00. Find out how bad your bad cholesterol really is!!!
