Atorvastatin

Atorvastatin (20mg) for high cholesterol

I'd been to the GP twice for headache problems, then I was referred to the neurologist, my blood was also checked. They couldn't find anything and was sent home with the advice to relax. I've taken other vastatins before but they gave me terrible bowel pain. I'm thinking about stopping them again. I shouldn't really stop because according to the doctor I'm at a higher risk of heart problems. I've read that high cholesterol isn't harmful and older people live long lives with high cholesterol. I said this to the doctor but he didn't really say much to it. What should I do?
