My cardiologist actually told me my PCP said he was concerned I would be non compliant with statin therapy because I didn’t like how it made me feel. PCP was the one who initially called in a statin based on my annual blood test without even discussing it with me. So yes, I refused to take it until I consulted with a cardiologist. Multiple tests later - I passed every single one with a calcium score of 0 - the cardiologist told me I still needed my numbers lower. So frustrating!
