    I would not take statin drugs just for a small increase in cholesterol .... it can cause muscle pain and other side effects.

      Im a lot better now. Daily exercise and not eating whiterice fatty food. I only eat oatmeal apple peanut canned fish(NO fried fish)and a lot of water 3 litter a day. Always hold a  liter of water with me.  I exercise daily and get a lot of sunshine for vitamin D3. For starters brisk walking is ok. feel your body if you can run.
