I am a 65 year Male with no medical prescriptions, in excellent health exercising five days a week (tennis). I have cholesterol numbers of 165 Total, 60 HDL, 85 LDL.
An x-ray of my hand showed tendinitis but also atherosclerotic calcification in the artery.
What should be my treatment (statins) or should I get additional tests such as a CT scan?
