[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have high HDL, high LDL and low healthy triglycerides. A strange pattern for a skinny vegan. It's actually caused by my panic disorder, found a research paper. I produce more cholesterol at night regardless of diet. Couldn't fix anything via any diet, exercise or supplement combo. I then decided to take the lowest dose of rosuvastatin, generic Crestor, 5 mg. Instead I took it at 2.5 mg, cut the pill in half so a very tiny dose. That amount has zero side effects and knocked the cholesterol down to normal ranges. [/quote] I'm a PP whose LDL skyrocketed since my last doctor's visit. Following up with my doctor tomorrow, but your post is very interesting. I don't have panic disorder, but I am an anxious person. Plus, I just went through a personal loss (my dad died) and I understand that stress can cause these numbers to increase. Seriously hoping my doctor will agree to retest in a few months instead of starting medication now.[/quote] You don't have to take a medication just because your doctor recommends it. You can always say I'd like to give some diet changes a chance first and get retested in a few months.[/quote] It’s not wise to do it if Calcium score is not zero. [/quote]
