I’m allergic to all statins and I have high cholesterol and high triglycerides. I’ve gotten them all down to normal with my diet. I basically follow the all American diet-balanced. And the easiest way that I do that is a do a quarter of a plate with fruit, quarter plate of meat and a half of a plate of greens. My salad i use the Italian vinegar instead of salad dressing. Basically just eliminate all sugar and all cars from your diet I will see what your numbers do! No sodas or juices.- water water

Hi Lisa, Various Statin drugs were prescribed after a non-heart attack ( 2007 ) but an 85 % blockage required 2 stents in the LCA.

Sorry, my response inadvertently sent , I wasn't finished. My PN / Spinal Stenosis were detected in 2013 while I was taking Statins from the Cardiologist. After complaining about muscular pains , my PCP advised Red Yeast Rice to lower my LDL cholesterol which it did, was 110 now 90 and so did effects. Cardio seems ok with LDL @ 90 and continue Red Yeast. Hope this clarifies my experience.
