I’m likely to stay on my small dose statin of 5 mg Crestor, due to Type 1 diabetes for over 20 years. I do still worry a little over progressing artery issues. Before I started Crestor late last year, my LDL was 91. Total cholesterol 159. I was then taking a small dose of Zettia. Years before that developed issue with muscle pain and another statin, discontinued with doctor approval.

Recently, showed no plaque on carotid artery ultrasound. And over the last 20 years have had 2 stress tests where you hop onto the table and they view your heart with a device….not sure what it’s called. You see the heart and arteries as they function….all was normal both times.

Like Lazarian, I work out regularly and eat right. Good BP and blood sugar management.

Still…….my father had a heart attack at 63…..quadruple bypass, 4 subsequent stents and Afib. My dad’s treatment has been miraculous and he is now 87!
