High cholesterol in family question
They advised that his siblings got tested and they all had high cholesterol as did the majority of my cousins and everyone of them went on
statins
. I had mine tested around the same time and mine was 5 so I was fine.

Have an Angiogram Booked Yikes!
He wanted my GP to start me on daily aspirin 75mg and to start taking
statins
(I'm on Atorvastatin starting dose). He also has arranged for me to have an angiogram. In my naivety, I assumed this wouldn't have been needed........but it is.

AF and Statins
There seems to be some evidence they say that
statins
have other health benefits as well as cholesterol lowering. All views as always would be well received. Ablation sometime in the next few weeks so shall I speak to my GP and see about a prescription for
statins
?

Statins
The side effects of
statins
was also discussed at length, and they showed some research where matched groups of patients were given
statins
and a placebo. What was astonishing was that almost identical percentages of the two groups reported muscle pain!

Statins and leg cramps/ pain
I was put on 80mg Atorvastatin after having Angioplasty but because of severe leg cramps and discomfort, after 8 months I have been prescribed 40mg of Simvastatin
statins
. I am now getting a lot of discomfort in my legs at night, sometimes a kind of burning sensation and aches.

Want to mange this thing!
Tocotrienols (rather than
statins
, which Cardio says I should take). Not sure about l-arginine. I have Apple Watch, find it useful, fairly accurate and use it all the time (without becoming stressed). Have sent traces to cardio and he is impressed.

Crippled by Statins.
Heart attack in June 2020, on Atorvastain and other brands, now neuropathy muscle pain, can hardly walk. GP says stay on them or suffer another heart attack, but I have stopped taking them as my life is unbearable. Will pay anything for alternative. Can anyone help. I am male and 80.

Making Good Choices can Pay Off.
They were pretty good anyway because of the
statins
but I was definitely surprised to see they hadn't declined. I drink lots of water to help prevent UTI's and maintain healthy kidneys and bladder and no longer drink alcohol....well maybe a celebratory drink for birthday or Christmas!

Medication reactions Diltiazem, statins, Bisoprolol and now something else?
Statins
, of varying dosages and types, resulted in really high LFT ( I’m not on any cholesterol controlling med now which concerns me - cardiologist thinks I should be but reactions prohibit this).

Fatty Liver Diet
I’m on 2
statins
which control it fairly well. I have fatigue, a little too much fat around my middle and sometimes get mild pain under right ribs. I’ve cut out processed snacks and sugar, but didn’t eat a lot lot before. I was a fairly healthy eater before trying to improve my liver.

Statins and myosotis. A warning
Unfortunately stopping the
statins
doesn’t stop the problem. I am now going through prednisolone and methotrexate therapy. I do think that with the widespread use of
statins
is causing an increase in myosotis.
