i have had a cholestral reading of 9.4 and been prescribed statins......i eat a ver healthy diet so it may be linked to family. Hovever before i take the statins i was wondering if never having had my gall bladder removed ( i have stones) could be misguiding the diagnosis?
Hi, Increase in cholesterol level is among one of the factors responsible for formation of stone in gall bladder, it's not mandatory that all gall bladder stones are made up of cholesterol. Keep taking statins in dose as advised by the cardiologist. Follow lifestyle modification and repeat your lipid profile after 3 months. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
