Magnesium & cq10
I'm getting a lot of muscle problems now and weakness and although I've started to change my diet I really believe I'm probably magnesium deficient and
statins
are causing some of these issues..

Painful feet and ankles
Wondering if its the
statins
(20mg Astovastin), or any other of my medications, betablockers, aspirin and ramapril. I had a triple bypass in March 2018. Thanks in advance for your help as always. x

Statins and PV
Perhaps
Statins
will be added to Aspirin as part of the standard therapy for PV, at least for those >60.

Overnight leg pains from statins
I’m getting overnight pain in my lower legs which I know is a well documented side effect of
statins
, I take Atorvastarin 40mg with ramipril before bed and regularly get woken up around 3.00 - 4.00 am with a nagging pain (not muscular), if I get up and wonder around it goes quickly, but then I’m awake

Treatments for C3G
Patients with high levels of
lipids
(fats like cholesterol) in the blood should also be treated with
to reduce the levels of these substances.
Statins
help lower the risk for heart disease. Practicing a healthy lifestyle should also be part of the treatment plan.

Endocrinologist visit
My question is on the recommendation that I need to go on a lipid lowering treatment ( I assume
statins
?) should I ? Upon reading it says ta hereditary unless it skips generations this isn’t the case.

Flecainide or statins?
I have been on flecainide 50 mg twice a day since my ablation in August and I also take Simvastatin, Bisopropol , levothyroxine and apixaban. For a few weeks now I have been having aching and painful joints- especially my fingers and hips, and numbness and tingling in my arm and leg- had blood tests

High pressure
So having ambushed me with this data, my doctor took my blood pressure and it was scarily high and he prescribed a calcium channel blocker and
statins
. Having researched
statins
, I decided they are not for me (my cholesterol is not high).

My Introduction - elevated psa, unconfirmed prostate cancer
Apparently prostate cancer doesn't feed directly off glucose, rather it feeds off lipids and is why
statins
have been shown to be effective. My total cholesterol is low but my HDL is very high, around 60. My non-HDL cholesterols are very low.

Statins
Hi, my GP said it is very important for me to take
statins
. I have tried 3 different brands of
statins
and with all I get pain in my thighs when walking. My pace has slowed down gradually since having AF. I miss going on a brisk walk. I don’t know if this is AF related or from taking
statins
.

Zometa / Celebrex and Lipitor
No phase 3 clinical trial yet, but Since many of us are already on
statins
anyway , and there had been a trial showing the benefit of zometa and Celebrex (for metastatic men) there could be an added benefit of using zometa/Celebrex combo because you’re using the Celebrex with a statin.

New heart treatment is biggest breakthrough since statins, scientists say
[/i] [i]
Statins
are the mainstay drugs for heart attack prevention and work primarily by lowering cholesterol levels. But a quarter of people who have one heart attack will suffer another within five years despite taking
statins
regularly.

Statin withdrawal
I have had to stop
statins
which I have taken for about 10 years now because of severe leg cramping during the night. The withdrawal symptoms are painful but not excruciating pain like cramping. I have added Collagen supplements very recently and have ordered some CoQ10 for help.
