Re: Crestor....
I think you should inform yourself whether this is a good idea for you before you decide to take it.
You can have a "Lipoprotein a" test to see if you have that risk factor. (it is genetic and some believe predictive of cardiac problems)
I'd suggest you read the link I put up on the "Drugs that may cause PN" post in the Subforum above. The newest link has the statistics of benefit you can perhaps hope to achieve with a statin (which is pretty low).

One factor that will raise cholesterol like that is low thyroid functions. Often elevated cholesterol is the first sign of that.
It is your decision after all. But with no other risk factors, or close relatives with heart attack/stroke, I'd wait and see myself.
