Estimate Your Personal 10-Year Risk for Heart Disease
There are some risk factors you can manage and some you can't. Knowing your estimated 10-year risk is a good first step to learning how to manage them. If you've been waiting to lower your high cholesterol, stop kidding yourself. High cholesterol is a significant risk factor for heart attack.
It’s easy to estimate your heart disease risk. Fill out this risk tool step-by-step, and talk to your doctor about what these numbers mean and what you can do to help reduce your risk. If you don’t know your information, then it’s time to see your doctor and get your cholesterol checked.

LIPITOR is not for everyone. It is not for those with liver problems. And it is not for women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant.
If you take LIPITOR, tell your doctor if you feel any new muscle pain or weakness. This could be a sign of rare but serious muscle side effects. Tell your doctor about all medications you take. This may help avoid serious drug interactions. Your doctor should do blood tests to check your liver function before and during treatment and may adjust your dose.
Common side effects are diarrhea, upset stomach, muscle and joint pain, and changes in some blood tests.
