@mayofeb2020 I’m not Asian but I too am very sensitive to many drugs. This has happened as I’ve aged.
I’m taking pravastatin, and it causes a lot of leg pain. My doctor halved my dosage but I’m still having pain. I’ve checked it online and it is less apt to cause that side-effect than other statins.
I feel like like I’m in a “catch 22” because exercise is impossible on many days but I need to take a cholesterol medication. I need to exercise too.

@contentandwell. I can't agree more. My cardiologist said I need "conditioning", it's easier than done with pain from my back to my hip down to my legs. It takes alot of effort to do my two walks. He did recommended taking CO Q10 for muscle pain and my heart. 200 mg a day. Crestor is good in that even a low dosage achieves great result. When I was on 5 mg every day, my LDL went down to 66. I took a couple of months off and the numbers came back up. So starting last November I'm on 5mg every other day. I would like to take a lipid test in March to see if this reduce dosage works.
