Statins don’t just lower cholesterol some also help to prevent inflammation in the arteries which is what actually causes the heart attack so don’t just think it’s all about cholesterol, the larger the dose the lower the chance of inflammation I take 80mg of Atorvastatin,
I had muscle cramps at first and my Doctor suggested vitamin D which for me eliminated the aches and pains.

I'm one of those people who had a heart attack with normal cholesterol levels. My doctor said I was the last one she would ever have expected to have a heart attack. I take the statin medication to reduce inflammation and keep plaque from building up in my arteries. I believe my heart attack was mainly genetic. It's too bad that more people couldn't get an angiogram when they have heart symptoms before having a great attack!

here are a couple of points. ( 1st i never claim to tell anyone what to take or not to) there is more and more research that shows those with "high ' cholesterol are not the ones that suffer deadly heart attacks, but those with cholesterol in the "normal range" . also the brain is comprised mainly of cholesterol. what is most important in the readings i have done (ncbi, yale harvard cali university and numerous other sites) is that your HDL vs LDL be much higher . no less than min 4:1 hdl to ldl ( our forefathers from what i have read (how they know this is beyond me) ratios were in the 30- 100: hdl vs ldl (again how the heck could scientists know this is beyond me).there is also mounting evidence that statins do not prevent heart
attacks. that is my 2 cents

Everyone with Heart issues needs [CoQ10/good Cholesterol like fish oils(especially on Cholesterol meds/statins), Vit.K2 & Vit.D3(to put loose calcium where it goes bones/teeth), Vit. A(immune)], coconut oil, good olive oil, and cut as much Calcium as possible. Remember what Plague is made out of... Stay away from as much Processed Foods as possible.
Eat all the Antioxidants you can get your hands on. **Lessen your bodily Cortisol. It kills you.**

I have been taking them for years and I do workout on a regular basis. I don't really suffer muscle weakness as long as I keep at it!
