Q: I'm on daily 10 mg crestor I have been on Vegan diet for 9 weeks. Lipid Panel this week = Total 140

I'm on daily 10 mg Crestor.  Male, 57 yr old

I've been on Vegan diet for 9 weeks with plenty of aerobic exercise.

Lipid Panel this week =

Total = 140

Triglicerides = 47

HDL = 139

LDL = 65

 

Should I discuss with my Doctor eliminating the Crestor?  The Vegan diet is easy for me.  Using Whey protein as exception. The rest is fruits, vege's and nonfat Yogurt.  I have been loosing 2# weight per week without effort.
