My cholesterol level is 9.34 and my triglyceride level is 11.43. I have been taking Lipitor for many years, but I stopped because I was experiencing muscle pain that was hindering me. What should I do?

It is important to consult with your pharmacist or doctor to discuss options for lowering your cholesterol, as there are various medications available. They can consider your overall health, medications you have tried before, and your risk of developing heart problems to determine the best course of action. In addition to medication, you may also want to look into improving your lifestyle habits such as increasing physical activity and making dietary changes to help lower your cholesterol levels.
