Wow- he is doing everything he should do. The number I believe is also due to genetics.
I understand your concern regarding starting statins.
Does your PCP have an opinion about starting statins? Has Zetia been discussed?

His PCP was pushing statins on him but was not familiar with how they may interact with his Gilbert's Syndrome. The little bit I found online about people with Gilbert's suggested that he may be more susceptible to myalgia due to his raised liver numbers. We're going to wait to meet with the cardiologist to discuss statins and possible alternatives (he was not offered alternatives).
