I am hoping the stomach pain is statin related as it’s potentially The only easy fix for its cause. My recent endoscopy and colonoscopy both came back fine, with the exception of a small peptic ulcer. That ulcer was treated for over four months with medication, and although I did not have a second endoscopy, the doctor gives me a clean bill of health in that area. I have a tough time with a lot of medication and stomach problems. Now that I am down to 50 mg Losartan and 5 mg of Rosuvastatin daily. I’m truly hoping it’s the statin. My total cholesterol is 139. My HDL is 62, my LDL is 54, and my triglycerides are 146. If that information tells you anything, please share!

Thanks ... it tells me your lipids are pretty good! Trigyclerides could be lower, but LDL is really good and HDL is fine. The really good LDL number likely related to the statins.

There are injectables a substitute for statins ... try, perhaps?

Losartan is for high bp ... hypertension?

Get an advanced lipids panel and see if consistent?
