I'll be 74 this month. I had a triple bypass 5 years ago when it was discovered that I had three arteries nearly closed. My cholesterol before taking Lipitor was 232. (Family history of high cholesterol.) Since taking 10mg of lipitor daily, my cholesterol is now 116! My wife and I walk a vigorous 2 to 3 miles daily, almost without fail. We are also largely vegetarian, but also eat fish a couple times a week. Eating salmon and other fish with Omega 3 a couple times a week is very important. I would get another doctor's opinion on taking 40mg Lipitor a day. In my uneducated opinion, it sounds like a high dosage. BTW, I've driven Saabs almost 20 years, and I still do my own oil changes and light mechanical work on our cars. Good luck!
