Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
why should I start taking 40 mg. of Lipitor daily if the blood test show D-Dimer elevated at 1.55 but venus Doppler showed negative. My LDL is 106 but cardiac risk factor is mildly elevated at 4.7. would the side effects of Lipitor vs. any positive effects to reduce the risk of heart attack/stroke. I am concerned about taking it.
