In hindsight, I think one of the reasons why I was prescribed statins is because the heart rate monitor was suggesting that I have high blood pressure, but this was only temporary, and probably because I was on my 3rd or 4th day in a dry fast. My values have since come down again after breaking the fast.

Also, I spent a lot of time researching cholesterol, and have decided not to take the statins until I'm proven that I have a poor metabolic health, which I doubt is the case, considering that I don't smoke or drink, and rarely eat processed food etc.

I'll discuss this with my doctor when I see her again in 2 months
