@funcountess. I still have the loop recorder. I will discuss with my doctor about taking it out eventually, not now with what's going on. I've had it for 5 months now, no afib. After my TIA, he just wants to make sure I don't have afib. As for statin, I read about the brain fog side effect so I'm taking Coq10, it is supposed to help with muscle as well. My appointment with the cardiologist is in September and maybe I'll get a blood test before that so we can discuss more about this. My primary physician never pressed me on statin because my numbers are good.
