Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I will be also says the same, start statin.
In old age, due to aging,
atherosclerosis is seen common.
It will be more if your
cholesterol, especially bad cholesterol (LDL) is high.
And this can cause brain stroke,
heart attack etc.
So better to start lipid lowering drug.
Newer statin group of drug (
rosuvastatin) is safe and having least side effects.
So start rosuvastatin 10mg at night.
Continue exercise and dieting.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
