I have read so much bad press and I am now getting some joint and muscle aches. I have been on atrovastatin 20mg for over a year now.. No cardiac issues but I did have a cholesterol of over 7.5. which is why my GP put me on them - that and my family history - mum CABG at 60 brother CABG at 58 etc..
However having read lots on here I will now speak to my Dr about coming off.
I have recently changed my diet cut out sugars lost a little weight and am doing regular exercise..
Please discuss this with your GP or a cardiologist as both needs to look at your general health.
