I Had A Carotid Doppler Done And It Showed 19%

I had a carotid Doppler done and it showed 19% blockage. My cholesterol is 176 and blood pressure is 114/70. I have never smoked, do not drink and do not have diabetes. No family history of heart attack or strokes. My family doctor wants to put me on a statin. Is this necessary?
