Can statin side effects occur months after you start taking them?
I know I have to weigh up the benefits of
statins
over side effects but I have read a number of posts from people who have switched
statins
due to side effects with positive results.

I'm new here - advice on possible hypothyroid blood tests
Total Cholesterol 10.4 mmol/L LDL 7.2 HDL 2.5 Triglycerides 1.6 The doctor said my TSH was a little high, but was more concerned about my high cholesterol, with seemingly no reason for it (don't smoke/drink, recently lost 3 stone - not obese, exercise well, no family history) and wanted me to take
statins

Angina, always normal cholesterol - hereditary
I can see the logic of putting me on
statins
BUT how can they tell what dose to give me if the blood tests are always normal?

It's not just about losing weight anymore, I aim to be in a position where I can stop taking
statins
and blood pressure tablets. I bought a blood pressure monitor in February and since I've been fasting my blood pressure has gone from hypertension range to 112/65mmHg.

My doc said
statins
May be a problem for me as react to some drugs, don’t know what to do. Not sure if Levo doing me any good or whether T 3 needed although Endo not willing. Any advice? Thanks

I refused
statins
as I couldn’t face more side effects etc My RLS was already at its worst & then for me a slow miracle happened. I decided at the age of 67 to start running! I used the Couch to 5K program never having run in my life since school days.

Blurred Vision/Atorvastatin?
but I also notice that
Statins
particularly Atorvastatin can cause this. Obviously I am going to speak to the GP surgery later but I was wondering if anyone had had or heard of similar problems?

What do you think?
Though am grateful to the doctors in hospital where I had the operation, upon my return home I felt the need to see a specialist here in the UK to discuss the medications I was given and the “length of time” I was told take them (have concerns about
Statins
for example).

Do Statins Cause Tinnitus
I take lipitor (atorvastatin) and believe this causes the pulsatile tinnitus I am experiencing.

Statins and Covid 19
Hi, I trust everyone is doing as well as they can be under such extreme circumstances. I would not like to add to the statin debate but make what will you from this. Take heart that this shall pass. As with all things in life. We are all on a journey with the same destination. Do take care of each other

Also I have to take beta blockers and
statins
amongst other meds I did the first of the "Cto5K" runs but found I couldn't complete the last 2 or 3 of the 60 second running sections. I completed the 35 minutes but the next day I was so stiff I decided to do some gardening instead.

My Post PVI ablation horrors take a turn for the better!
For the last year, I’ve also been put on blood thinners, and
statins
– previously only taking Blood Pressure meds for several years. Toward the end of 2019, I had a review consultation with my chosen specialist to discuss my meds as the GP didn’t feel qualified to answer my questions.
