Take it seriously - take action - and if that includes medication - do it.

i suppose at its core it likely an ego thing. I am very active, and eat generally well, so it really hurt to hear that at my core i'm actually "not healthy".
I decided to see if i could better my cholestorol numbers on my own by eating a better diet. When i go in for my physical this year and the numbers aren't trending positively, i suppose i'll have no choice but to get on a meds program for it.
For those that do take the statins, what kind of side effects, if any, have you experienced? do you have to change other parts of your lifestyle when taking them (ie. can't be taken on empty stomachs, or days where you might have a beer or two, etc)?
