Should I start a low dose statin

[3percent]

I have been
ow dose crestor for 3 years now. Never had any muscle problems or other sides. I had an acute MI on April 15 2019. It was a close call. Never had high cholesterol or BP prior to. Genetics are what they are. The beta blocker for BP i take now is also low dose. I had slight ED before, now with the beta blocker it is more pronounced
I agree, do a scan to see what is in there. Also agree, with inflammation, sugar, ….. lots of moving parts. But do not blow it off, take action before you end up like me

What dosage?? everyday?

Going vegan would very quickly solve the cholesterol and blood pressure issues…and probably a bunch of other stuff.

ApoB is now considered superior to lipid tests. Lipitor is considered a high potency statin, so even at 10 mgs, it will likely result in reductions in your profile.
