Hello Happy Memorial Day,
My mother was a healthy senior, then
her doctor put her on statins, after 5 days pain in the legs and hips. She stopped walking any distance.
Another doctor took her off the statin said after 80-83 I do not recommend them, as side affects are too great in the over 80 group.
She was 5’5” weight about 110 or so.
Statins can also cause foggy brain.
Mom lived to 92,was glad she was off the Rx as she was able to walk small distance again.meicine affects everybody differently, what is good for one is poison to another.
Do you still have a loop recorder?
The people I know with afib would only allow an event recorder, and said no to the loop recorder procedure.
I guess it depends on your doctor preference,and patient age.
My mother felt better just seeing a internal medicine doctor, and quit the cardiologist.
These are decisions we make for ourselves.
To good health
