A member asked:

Total cholesterol 229 hdl 64 ldl 146 trig 97 need to take statins?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lipid: I see you are on antihypertensives. If you have any other risk factors for cad, i would recommend a statin in low dose. If you have no other risk factors for cad, i don't think there's good evidence for whether or not you should take a statin but again a low dose of statin wouldn't be a bad idea.
