Statins are great for teeth
Just rare a positive note about
statins
I am on Atorvastatin 80mg mega blast dose. I used to suffer badly from dental plaque, it needed scraping off by the dentist every few months. I am now dental plaque free. I now have low cholesterol and sparkling teeth which I acredit to the atorvastatin.

Prednisolone and increased cholesterol
My doctor wants to prescribe
statins
, but I’m reluctant to get involved with another drug that has unpleasant side effects. Do other members have any advice on this situation? Thanks

Nausea and vomiting - at 7.5 / 8mgs Pred?
Have also given up the
statins
(ten days ago) as they used to give me stomach problems - have tried several types but the latest low dose Rosuvastatin seemed ok - however not planning to re-introduce it unless absolutely necessary, just covering all bases.

Absorption Causes
This drug is meant to protect my gut and stomach etc. from other medication that I have to take for blood pressure, heart, anti coagulant, (aspirin) and to prevent build up of cholesterol (
Statins
). Unfortunately it prevents me from ingesting and absorbing B12 orally too.

Still on 80mg of Statin
I was researching the taking of
Statins
on the NICE website and my surprise their recommendations that a patient should only be taking 80mgs if the patient is suffering from very high cholesterol or high risk of cardiovascular complications.

Tests tests tests!
All the blood tests picked up the fact that I had extremely high cholesterol so after 8 weeks on
statins
that has reduced from a shocking 10 to 5.3. They also found I have high blood pressure so on medication for that.

Mobitz Type 1/Wenckebach AV Heart Block
I had the Holter fitted because I'd been experiencing palpitations and skipped beats; this has settled down now and I think may have been largely stress-related.I was diagnosed with non-obstructive CAD back in 2018 and take
statins
etc.
