80mg is a lot.
Are u serious?

Equally bad

80mg is a lot.

Yup have been taking 80mg for the past 6 yrs. Given by my heart specialist due to blockage. But 80mg only bring down my Ldl to 2.0. He add another medication ezetimibe. This bring my Ldl to below 1

APOB and Lipo(a) are better indicators.

Lipo(a) is much more atherogenic.

So many potential stroke patients spotted. If you dont control cholesterol, stroke is waiting for you. Stroke leads to permanent disability. LDL above 130mg/DL is fail already still see so many 300-500 and thought still ok lol

Ur liver so far ok?

cannot anyhow take red yeast!

Personally i find eating oats regularly help. I'm 50 years old and had been eating oats for past 9 months.

in the recent health screen, I managed to get my LDL down to 120mg/dl and HDL up to 65mg/dl.

Hopefully I can get my LDL below 100mg/dl in my next health screen as I persist in my lifestyle od regular exercise and diet.

High blood. Or high cholesterol. Which is worst?

Depends on how high is the high.

I think both are equally dangerous.

So many potential stroke patients spotted. If you dont control cholesterol, stroke is waiting for you. Stroke leads to permanent disability. LDL above 130mg/DL is fail already still see so many 300-500 and thought still ok lol

130 is still OK if no other risk factors. ie good BP, good BMI, no diabetes, no family history of HD

300-500 is familial hypercholesterolemia. Must take meds liao.
