At least you have/had the gray to have stopped. I seriously believe many people don't know what feeling optimal is. Then they are prescribed a medication, and they think that this is the new normal regardless of how the medication makes them feel. Because they have never felt as if they are running on High Octane or feeling exceptionally well most of their lives.
That's unfortunate that your Cardiologist wasn't more sympathetic with your situation. I would have had a hard time holding my tongue. I'm wishing you all the best....

@johnjtgg Actually I didn’t hold my tongue. I left him. I tried to get an appointment with a cardiologist DO in the same group but was shut out. Blackballed. I wasn’t rude, but I told him that I couldn’t understand why a cardiologist would say “I have nothing for you” after being told about the extreme side effects caused by statins and Repatha. I said “but, you are my cardiologist, how can you say that knowing the side effects?” I think a DO would be so much better. I’m having my first stress test next week. My Internist said he would follow me and he ordered the stress test.
