Update.... So I finally got the insurance company to okay an MRI on my neck and spine. I go for it on Friday.
After being off my cholesterol medicine for 2 1/2 months, watching what I ate, no red meat, 99%ground chicken and turkey, high fiber, low-fat, low-carb, my cholesterol level went back up to 212. The good news is I lost 15 lb.
Cardiologist put me back on my meds, which I understood why.
I have also had a sleep apnea test. Nothing wrong there either.
