Hi Sallyj2. May I ask if you did a CT scan showing your arteries were clear of plague (or fairly clear)? I have a history of heart disease in my family plus many years ago I was stupid enough to smoke. I gave it up decades ago, but my cardiologist said it still may have affected my arteries and as a precaution has suggested a statin. This may be a reason for me not to be cleared. I put a call into my cardiologist but his office hasn’t gotten back to me yet.
