A what? If you mean a gizmo, I've already knocked that idea on the head.
Just seeing one has caused you to have high blood pressure and worries about cholesterol and a prescription

Re: Any nurses out there?
Mmmm should've explained it better, sorry. 3.13mmol is under 5mmol and that's ideal but in it's role within the ratio with the bad cholesterol it's a tad low (ie if it were a bit higher, it would cancel out more bad LDL). I hope I'm making sense!
All your figures are OK, I guess you doc is covering all bases. As I said you may fall under another category of 'at risk' of heart disease therefore prescribe the statin. If I remember the only poss side effect something with the stomach, either gas or constipation, can't remember which. Oh and with all statins, your liver has to work. Maybe a good idea to check your LFTs in a year if your liver is prone to failure!!
The bill is in the post

I'd give my right arm for some of the GPs I had in the UK.
