Important information about statins that I’m going to ask my doc about
Aging Well | Last Active: 10 hours ago | Replies (202)Comment receiving replies
I was prescribed statins a few years ago because my cholesterol numbers were elevated due to the medication I was on. Now my doctor is decreasing that med and started talking about whether or not to keep me on statins. I have a family history of heart attacks and strokes, so I’m not very eager to get off. I don’t have any side effects from my statins med I take.

Why does your doctor want to take you off the statins? Are your numbers in range now? Some doctors will put/keep a patient on statins as a preventative measure because of a family history of heart attacks and strokes.
