Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My Cholesterol level total is 303. LDL is 226 HDL is 56 and Triclicrides is 105. I have went on atkins for past two months and lost 20 lbs. So I am not sure what the numbers would be if I had not lost the weight. I am continuing Atkins as I want to lose 15 more lbs. I also have bee going to the gym 5-6 days a week doing moderate excersie of walking and weight machines. My doctor wants to put me on Zocor. I want to try to lower with my new committed lifestyle change. I am female 53 years old and post menopause since last year. I have heard once you start statins you are on them for life. What do you advise?
