Angel,
Be very careful about any suggestions for you to take statins, particularly if you are planning on becoming pregnant!. Cholesterol is absolutely vital for a developing foetus,particularly it's brain development and to mess with cholesterol production while pregnant is asking for trouble!. Besides, no trial has ever shown a benefit for women taking statins!.
High cholesterol is most likely a symptom of something else, rather a problem itself!.

Talk to the doctor!. Most people take statins to get their cholesterol down, but I can't take statins and my doctor put me on megadoses of niacin!. There are some big problems with niacin, because it causes a 'super-hot flash' and very red skin that can last up to an hour, but my cholesterol came down to 'safe measurements' in two years on the niacin !.!.!. but talk to your doctor first, and if he says you need niacin, he'll tell you how much to take and when!.

exercise is key!. just ease into it with maybe 30 minutes a day!. Push ups & crunches are a good start, or if thats too intensive maybe you could try going for walks every day to get started!. Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com
