I hope that your cardiologist is doing a detailed cholesterol assessment. If you are identified as having hypercholesterolemia, they should be able to determine which genetic type you are. There are five classifications and one of them confirms that statins will not work for you. I'm one of those. I ended up reluctantly taking repatha. Wow what a change. My total cholesterol went from 390 to 129. My ldl went from 190 to 29. My suggestion is to find a good cardiologist who will do a complete analysis of your genetic type.
Good luck
