what side effects do you feel from these cholesterol lowering drugs. My ldl is high and I have arrhythhmia but no clacium on scan, I exercise and eat fairly good weight good too, but still ldl is high everything else is really good so am hesitant about taking statins.
timok,
Thanks for the post.
Its hard to modify things that we dont quite yet know how to modify. Overall, you are doing all of the right things with pretty good risk factor modifcation through medications and lifestyle.
There isnt a lot of data with Lp(a) but it does tend to respond to cholesterol modification and exercise.
I wouldnt change too much, but would keep a close followup with yearly stress testing and monitoring of your symptoms.
good luck
