How high is your cholesterol? I am almost 76 and I get a blood test 1X a year and for years have had my cholesterol 299 or a bit less at times. I have read negative things about statins and have never taken. The first test I had was about 17 yrs ago and it was 299, and have lost 30 lbs and kept off many years but my cholesterol is still in that range.
I have read, and doctors of course say different, that people who have high cholesterol actually live longer. Investigate yourself and decide for yourself what you believe. I am female 5 ft 5 inches and weigh 120 lbs. I chop, cut grass with a mower without power, and saw down weeds usually 5 times a week and then walk downtown up and down steep hills at age 75. I take no meds.

I have been taking statins for about 10 years now. I too was never told by anyone that statins could cause PVCs. I am sure going to start asking questions now as I have to take medications to lesson the PVCs.
