Heart issue?: Given your age and high cholesterol, and EKG would not be enough to reassure us that your heart is OK. The stress test will be a much better option. For a woman, nuclear stress tests are considered more accurate.

In addition, you may fall within to one of 4 statin treatment groups based on ASCVD risk according to ACC, see your MD
