I Was Taking 10 Mg. Lipitor. My Previous Levels Were
I was taking 10 mg. Lipitor. My previous levels were all WNL. I decided to stop the Lipitor. I have been off of it for 4 months. My recent tests show t. Chol of 253 and LDL went from 100 to 169. Trig. 73, Hdl 69. I also had TKR 9 months ago. I am now back to a regular exercise routine which I had quit after the knee surgery. I would like to see if I can't decrease the levels with diet and exercise. Any thoughts on this? I am probably 10-15 pounds overweight. 67 yrs old, female. My father died at 62 due to heart disease. My mother lived to be 86. No heart issues. Please advise. Thank you
