Hi there and congratulations on lowering that cholesterol. As an experienced cardiology nutritionist I say the doctor is doing you a favor. Do you really want to be taking more of a statin drug than you have to or less than the amount to do the job? Try to get over the anger and understand the doctor is looking after your well being and health with the intention of preventing a stroke or other life-changing cardiac event. We complain constantly that doctors don t do their jobs. We have to cooperate with them when they do try to do the best job possible with your health in mind. If it would help, have your doctor or a cardiac RD explain the guidelines to you and how they relate to health outcomes so you may better understand why you seem to be given this extra misery of having to go see your doc more often. My wishes for your continued health and success, Kathryn Shattler, MS,RDN available at https://www.bit.ly/askkathyshattler here at Healthcare Magic
