I,m confused because I do everything right, go figure. Dr. Doing nothing.
How are you being treated, so I can suggest to my Dr. He tested circulation in my leg and said it was good. I have tried statins and they don,t agree with my system..
It was discovered through lifeline Screening test. I brought it to my Dr. He tested my circulation in my foot of the leg and said it was good. He said if he sent me to a Cardiologist I would be told to take a statin.
It worries me, but I feel fine and am able to move around quickly with no problems. My BP is 110/70. Last time 102/70.
I’d go see the cardiologist. It wouldn’t hurt to get another opinion, especially from a specialist.
