why does the GP prescribe a cheap statin which can cause muscle pains. you are then referred to a hospital consultant who can prescribe a better more costly statin without the side effects

randomacc1809 :
This is quite an outdated approach to cholesterol. You should be looking at triglycerides and ratio to HDL. Plus the NHS test does not distinguish between the very small low density LDL and the larger less dense LDL. It is the former that is more worrying.
