2nd opinion please: have cad. my hdl 55 ldl 83 trg 139 tot 163 a1c 5.1, but my family doc wanted me on chol medicine because of the new aha guidelines?

Those: Numbers don't look bad at all. Sometimes cholesterol drugs have side effects themselves. Lets wait and see what other doctors have to say.

Strongly agree: Stations protect arteries, not just cholesterol#. It's the best way to delay/prevent disease, despite your excellent meds and numbers. Studies show statins given in ICU prevent heart damage on coronary patients right away, long before they can reduce LDL and total c don't miss out!
