I too take one statin once per day.
During a visit to my doctor, I was asked about my family health history. He was quite alarmed when I told him that my father died from a heart attack at 56, and that my two brothers both have had heart attacks and triple by-pass ops.
Perhaps I shouldnt tempt fate, but I to date, have not had any such heart problems.
My cholesterol level has been around 4.3/4.5 level for years, and my heart rate at rest is low.
However, my doctor has prescribed and suggested I take one 20mg Atorvastatin statin per day because of my family track record.
That was just over 2 years ago.
I am now beginning to wonder if I am doing the right thing.
