heart screening test

Hi
I am a male 40 years old, 6'0 275lbs being treated for high blood pressure and cholesterol. I do not smoke and I exercise moderately 4 times a week. Besides the exercise, I have a desk job 5 days a week getting little other exercise. Someone suggested that I consider  inner imaging screening (EBT Hart scan). I am on Benicar and Vytorin, I was taken off of Lipitor two months ago because of the back pain and an elevated CPK 200's.  Recent blood test revealed my cholesterol at 118 but my CPK at 205 and still experiencing lower back back pain. My blood pressure is 110/70 to 120/80. No prior hart problems.
Do you think I should consider this image screening?
