I had breathing issues with oral statins and now after 3rd Repatha injection, I'm again finding that I am struggling with my breathing and resulting fatigue. I am normally very active and i find that i huff and puff after just going up one flight of stairs - or - it just takes so much energy to expand my diaphragm to breathe. No muscle aches or anything like that (at least not more than usual). I will take my 4th shot and do labs. rI hope my cholesterol levels drop as yours did - and that the labored breathing will lessen.

@ohallk You are wise to be cautious with Repatha. I had an hour long appointmemt with a Stanford neurologist this morning. I learned a lot. I wanted to learn what it is about Repatha that caused my many falls. My calendar with records of my falls showed that there was a correlation with Repatha use. The doctor asked whether the drug could possibly cause heart arrythmias. He did not declare that it does, but brought forward the idea. I think this should be studied by experts.

What you should do imo is keep meticulous records of Repatha use and your symptoms, always keeping Repatha’s half life in your body in mind.
