anything goes

Hi David

You need to go back to your doctor and have your cholosterol tested.  If it is low and you are maitaining a low cholestrol diet, then they might recommend that you come off your meds.

Good luck!

talk with your doctor before making any medication changes.

you need your lipid panel checked. make sure your HDL abd LDL blood values are where they should be. in addition, it is always important to follow a healthy diet. however, exercise (esp. cardiovascular) has been proven to be the best way to lower cholesterol levels.
