I'm a healthy guy in my 50s. Came back from my annual physical, and the doc threw the word Cholesterol into today's assessment.
My blood work showed my cholesterol to now be higher than the normal range, higher than last year's reading, and he wants it to get back in range before I have negative effects. Last year it was the top of the normal range.
I'm not diagnosed with any disease. Ultrasounds of ateries came out clear. EKG and treadmill tests came out just fine. But I've now been prescribed what he called a "pediatric dose" (20mg) of Lipitor. (atorvastatin) He wants me to stay on it.
My 3rd class medical was issued just a few months ago, and I have no notations or need for a SI. At the time of the medical, I correctly reported that I don't use any prescription meds. In my past, I've never needed a prescription med for any long-term use.
Now that I have a prescription medication that I'm likely to be taking long-term, do I need to report this now, or just report at my renewal?
