I started taking statins (Pravastatin 10mg/day) in January 2013 after I decided that statins would be good for my health.
With QRISK.org I reckon I have cut my risk of a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years from 7.8% to 6.3%, a 20% reduction. I've had no side effects.
I can't be sure of course that it was the statins that caused the Cholesterol/HDL ratio reduction. Changes in my diet and / or exercise in the last year might have helped too.
