@skd4953 Good for you! You can look on YouTube for information on Red Yeast Rice and Garlic as alternatives to statins (although my cardiologist tells me that Red Yeast Rice is a statin, but OTC and non-regulated.) It may not work for everyone, but it did work for me. I have a very good cardiologist but I always do my own research and also listen to my body. I know what works for me and what doesn't. So best of luck. Anything that gives you symptoms like that isn't worth it.
