Thanks for the info. My cholesterol was around 250 and is the heredity kind. I have no heart issues other than a RBBB diagnosed with a stress test years ago that I was told is nothing to worry about. I'm on 20mg of simvastatin and my cholesterol levels are around 170. I hope this answers your question.
250 isnt a terrible number...i think i would stop the statin, the side affects in your case arent worth it and try a natural way to bring down your cholesterol if you want.
