  5. I've got pretty high cholesterol levels, like 267, and my LDL is around 180, but my HDL is at 60.59. I tried using statins to lower my cholesterol, but I started having some issues, like erection problems, so I had to stop. Even with changes to my diet and exercise, the lowest I could get my cholesterol down to was 234. Can you recommend any medications that won't mess with my sexual health, or maybe some natural remedies? I also tried Rosave 10, which didn't cause any sexual issues, but it did make me urinate more frequently. What should I consider next?

Given your history of experiencing sexual side effects with statins, a good alternative medication for lowering cholesterol levels without such side effects is Ezetimibe (brand name Zetia). You can take Ezetimibe 10mg once daily. It works by decreasing the absorption of cholesterol from the diet. Additionally, you can consider adding Omega-3 fatty acids supplements to your daily regimen, as they have been shown to help lower cholesterol levels naturally. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement.
