Start eating better. It takes extra vigilence in picking your nutrition while on cycle. Triglycerides, cholesterol, and blood pressure are all susceptible to poor readings. Just a reminder that it takes more than planning when, what, and how many steroids you want to take. It takes more than planning post cycle therapy. It's an all encompassing propostion that imposes on everything in your life when you decide to cycle. If you don't pay attention to all aspects you can plan on an early retirement from life. Cardiovascular disease is no joke.

mind you I run the fence a few times a week but usually friday night But I try to eat right on a daily basis there is much more involved

Several drugs and diseases can bring about high cholesterol, but, for most people, a high-fat diet and inherited risk factors may be the main causes. Your doctor will rule out the possibility that you have an underactive thyroid or kidney or liver disease.

Heredity: Your genes influence how high your LDL (bad) cholesterol is by affecting how fast LDL is made and removed from the blood. One specific form of inherited high cholesterol that affects 1 in 500 people is called familial hypercholesterolemia, which often leads to early heart disease. But even if you do not have a specific genetic form of high cholesterol, genes play a role in influencing your LDL cholesterol level.
Weight: Excess weight may modestly increase your LDL (bad) cholesterol level. If you are overweight and have a high LDL cholesterol level, losing weight may help you lower it. Weight loss especially helps to lower triglycerides and raise HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
well I'm not overweight I DO have a mild thyroid NO where did you say GENES could be the cause the question I asked was can I cycle if I have to take a statin drug if life style is not the cause and genetics is ?

Well only you know if you have been eating a shitty diet! We can't tell now can we, and only you know if you are predisposed to having a high colestrol level. If you are then go on the drug and continue the cycle.

Statins can be very helpful and won't preclude you from running a cycle. Just keep a closer eye on your meals and keep your body fat % as low as possible. Continual monitoring of BP, cholesterol triglycerides, LDL, and HDL are very important. Exercise along with fish or flaxseed oil are the best thing I've found for increasing your HDL. Familial hypercholestrolemia will respond to pharmacologic treatment. It may not reach the numbers the doctor likes but as long as it moves in the correct direction it's a plus. This is where the intense workouts are beneficial by building collateral circulation. Something known as anastomosis is your friend and will minimize the complications that can and will occur as you age. You sould like you've got a good handle on your health. Take the next step and treat it aggressively through exercise and let the doctor monitor and treat it through pharmacology.

As Smiley and hazcat noted, diet should be your first concern. Eliminate as much saturated fats and trans fats as possible. Leaner meats, less processed food. Add essential fatty acids, e.g. eat salmon on a regular basis, I pop 10-15g of fish oil every morning. These will help lower your LDL.

To further decrease your LDL, you need to increase your HDL. Lengthy cardiovascular exercise works best for this - intensity not being as important as duration. I do 2 60minute elliptical sessions every week and it seems to help. Steroids lower HDL, so it will not be great as long as you are "on". Niacin may also increase HDL (but only the flushing kind, flush free doesn't do shit).

Finally, statin are often hard on the liver. You will probably want to discontinue all orals while you are on them. Or, at least cut them down to a low mg of something mild like var.
