Statins question
As far as my understanding goes - and she didn't correct me when I said this - is the
statins
reduce cholesterol to help stop plaque forming in the arteries, if I can control the levels why do I still need to take the
statins
?

Rituximab and statins - a good combo?
I think it's about time I went on
statins
to reduce my high cholesterol. We have discussed it before, some time back, but she was reluctant to put me on
statins
because it might increase the aches and pains I was already suffering from.

An interesting & informative talk
The most interesting one for me was ‘Why Your Doctor is Wrong About
Statins
& Fat’. For anybody taking or considering taking
statins
, it’s well worth watching: https://youtu.be/FRZGgO4MxRU. I shall be asking my GP to look at the video and the evidence-based papers Dr. Paul Mason cited

Red Rice Yeast
My cholesterol is just over the limit but I am reading that red rice yeast can have side effects like
statins
. Natures best won’t sell it as they say you can’t guarantee an accurate dosage. Looking for views, is red rice yeast a good supplement or something to avoid?

Losartan or anxiety causing tingling lips??
I also have high cholesterol but eventually came off
statins
due to side effects. (I posted about this in a different group) I have also recently been diagnosed with a heart murmur. Some guidance as to where I should be posting this please. . I feel uptight and as though a hypochondriac.

Coronary vasospasm - palpitations at night
I was put on lots of medication including
statins

Atorvastatin and Abnormal Liver Function Tests
Having tried Atorvastatin at 80mg and then 20mg which worked great for my cholesterol levels but both caused abnormal liver function tests which now following a six week lay off without
statins
have returned to normal.

Statin and liver damage?
I came online to see if anyone had odd liver tests from
statins
. Specifically atorvastatin. I had to go for an abdominal scan today and had a lot of blood tests, I’m on 40 mg of atorvastatin. And have been on them for nearly a year since I found out I had HD and had a stent last summer.

Statins side effects
I've recently been prescribed
statins
which have made the pain a lot worse. My doctor has tried different ones, which hasn't helped. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

Down Day
Having had a clear Coronary Angiogram the Hospital handed me back to the GP instructing them to take me off the beta blockers and
statins
back in Feb. With the additional statement of perhaps consider tests for my esophagus I’m in limbo land.

Should I take BP meds?
Doc also wants me on
statins
. I'd love to have some sort of test to see if my circulatory system was OK.... I would then not worry about my sometimes high bp and overall high cholesterol and feel happier about not taking the doctor's advice. I really hate taking meds.
