My doctor wants me to start a cholesterol medication. Should I?

It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medications, and it is recommended that you discuss the pros and cons of taking a cholesterol-lowering medication with them. Cholesterol-lowering medications can help reduce the risk of heart disease, but they may also have side effects such as nausea or fatigue. Your doctor should be able to assess your individual needs and determine if a cholesterol-lowering medication is right for you.
