I am a 61 year old female, non-smoker, non-drinker, no family history of heart disease. Bp was 130/94 today. I have high cholesterol but Framingham study puts me at less that 2 for risk, so am on no med for it. Used to take mevacor, but high liver enzymes caused Dr, to take me off it. Cholesterol is not significantly higher without meds.
