Best to discuss with your doctor or nurse if symptoms continue. Perhaps a change in the type statin is necessary.

Side effects can be different depending on the individual.

Are you sure that this is a side effect from the statin or could it be something else? If it is the statin you can request to try a different brand of statin which can cause less side effects.

Your doctor might switch you to a different type of statin if you explain your side effects. Usually, such effects, which are unusual but can happen, go away on their own, but if you've had them a while, I'd say it's time to mention this to your doctor. There are other statins that work somewhat differently and so are unlikely to cause the same issues.

Hi

Symptoms sound like

Latest Flu. Very congestive

Test for COVID

Not side effects I don't think for Statins.

Cut down Statin to 19-20mg only.

As this can cause your diabetic score to rise to make you prebiabetic.

My sputum showed strands pneumonia and fungi.

Dr gave me 5 day course of Anoxillicin. Hot water, lemon/lime, honey. A pinch salt if necessary not eating.

Take care.
