Muscle pain/weakness from Statins

[Muscle25]

I have reacted to Ator… and Rosu… by getting pain and weakened/sensitive muscles in the lower arms.

It is so weak that i can not hold a phone for long and if i hold a piece of paper for more than a minute it becomes weak and aches to the point of dropping it. It affects my physical functional strength in most daily tasks. The GP says i should go on statins due to Cholesterol raised but not critical.

If you turn out to be statin intolerant due to side effects then there is other medication available such as ezetimibe and inclisiran to manage your cholesterol profile. Your GP should be discussing this with you. If you are borderline as to whether you need medication, or whether alternative medication is not available, you can still perhaps better your cholesterol profile by adopting improvements to lifestyle including diet, exercise, body weight management, alcohol and smoking, all of which are covered on the BHF webpages, with the proviso that as soon as you relax doing them any benefit is lost
