I have been prescribed statins and have been taking them for over 10 years because of a high LDL number. I have read recently that statins my be over prescribed and their utility in preventing heart disease is questionable. I would like to know if anyone has had an LDL particle size test and if they were able to convince their doctor to eliminate statins.
My last legacy (1980’s) lipid panel test had a high LDL number (198) while taking 20mg of a generic statin. All other numbers are good (i.e. HDL = 47, Triglycerides = 125). I made some dietary changes a month before the test severely restricting processed carbs and sugar by being on a paleo type diet.
