@suesam after a severe heart attack just over a year ago, I was placed on a strong statin. Within a month, I started feeling very ill - multiple symptoms - overall weakness, dizziness, ill feeling. I went right to ER because of the recent heart issue and it did turn out that my liver enzymes were extremely high - probably due to statin. Since then, I’ve learned there are multiple ways to manage cholesterol including different types of statins and drugs that aren’t statins at all. Not sure what your doc will say, I ultimately met with a lipidologist and was placed on a different type and lower dose of statin. So far, so good. I’d rather take nothing, but… Good luck!
