Anyone know which statins work good to raise HDL cholesterol by say 8 or 10% and lower LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol by say 10 or 15%?
Seems I always come in about 10% over "limits" on total and LDL, and about 8% under on HDL. Unless I live like a monk for a couple months before I get my blood tested.
After my last exam I decided exercise/lifestyle were not getting me there consistently, and I would maybe try doing it with the "pills". Doesn't look like I need much help, just a low dose to tip me over/under limits. Plus low dose should have minimal side effects, and should be CHEAP like an ER'er likes!
In short, what kinds of experiences have folks had with the various cholestrol meds?
