Stopping Statins for 2 weeks
I just wondered if anyone has ever stopped
Statins
for this length of time and if so were there any problems or did cholesterol levels rise? Thank you. Loey

What are the long term effects of aspirin and statin use? Doctors just seem to hand them out like sweets!

Side effects of statins.
Has anyone else presented with similar symptoms as all the literature indicates that
statins
shouldn't cause these symptoms....

Ezetimibe side-effects
I've been prescribed two
statins
in the past although I've never had a heart attack. My cholesterol is on the high side. SSSAfter the 2nd dose of simvastatin I woke at night gasping for breath.

Statistics on the Statins - to take or not?
So 15/100 will have a stroke. 5 will not because of taking
statins
. If inflammation is the principle issue then there are alternative lifestyle measures to lowering inflammation so I’ll stick with those.

Any advice?
The doctor said to stop his
statins
for 2 weeks. This didn’t help. He said to try tonic, again no help. The haematologist has now prescribed iron tablets and his legs are feeling much better, but I’m a bit worried that his levels will go back up.

Statins
When I read up on
statins
I was rather put off when I read about the risk of type 2 diabetes. My present blood glucose levels are normal. I wondered what the experience of others with
statins
has been and also how they relate to AF.

Hi
My doctor prescribed blood thinners and
statins
but after 6 months I decided to change to a plant-based diet with very little added fat. The vascular problem is not completely cured but it has improved considerably and I can walk several miles now.

Guilty Pleasures
Two mammary glands were used for my Op which I believe are very robust at fighting fatty deposit build up, and I’m now taking
statins
, so I think I’m deluded into thinking I can fall back into old ways and be fine.

Stroke and mbc
Was put on high
statins
and aspirin. Took me 6 months to psychologically get over it, but got back to my normal active life and got my confidence back. May 2020, de novo grade 2 mbc with 9 bone mets. I'm just scared of what I'm going to learn next...Lost all my self confidence again.

Statins side effects
I have been through all the
statins
and the alternative to
statins
they all have bad side effects for me so I am unable to take any of them. I am now on the Repatha injection self administered every 2 weeks, no side effects and cholesterol down to 1!

Israeli experts show that some already widely used drugs help fight COVID-19.
Looks like
statins
, Pepcid, Anti-cholesterol fibrates, and even Viagra can help tamp it down. I'm on 3 of them plus Vit D & C.
