avoid lipitor
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2008 8:36 am
Good Morning,
Will start by apologizing if my question has already been asked and answered.
My cholesterol is 205, tri' is 106, HDL 36, LDL 152
Cardiologist wants me to take lipitor. Been confirmed that my heart failure is not due to blocked arteries. I am on predinsone (other condition) for year and will remain indefinitely. Web research indicates that predinsone increases cholesterol.
In addition to strict adherence to McD diet plan, do you know of another way to positively affect cholesterol? Flax seed? Psyllum? I make up capsules to take the psyllum, better to just stir it into liquid?
Feeling overwhelmed by shear number of meds, and sure don't want to give up grapefruit. Thank you.
