Hi Concerned,
It's best to discuss your need for medication with your physician. LDL itself does not cause arterial plaque build-up. It's the oxidation of LDL that causes problems. You may benefit from a comprehensive lipid profile that provides more detailed information on the specific types of LDL particles you're dealing with, so you can make an appropriate treatment choice.
All the best,
