Probably not.: Assuming you have normal blood pressure (less than 140/90), don't smoke, and that you don't have a family history of early heart disease (very important), your risk for a heart attack or stroke over the next 10 years is 2-4 %. This is low risk. Therefore, by textbook, you don't need cholesterol med. Check out our risk calculator: http://www.Ucvamedtools.Com/prevent.
