Really bummed out (calcium test score)

You’re welcome! I think that’s the same thing that happened with my dad—he had no reason to question it and neither did we. We didn’t want to be “those people” worried about the side effects of statins we’d heard horror stories about on the internet… And yet, here we are.

Now there are various types of statins and cholesterol lowering medications, and we didn’t know you could start at a lower dose and increase it slower, which probably would have benefitted him. Plus taking any dose of a statin if you’re high risk even if it’s not the highest dose indicated, is still a benefit!

Wishing you all the best.

Thanks again. It's a journey and and to some degree hit and miss and a guessing game.
