How long did you take a statin before feeling side effects?

Thanks for your concern. I have my annual cardiologist visit in a month and can ask if HDL can be too high.
I saw the hazard ratio on one of the srudies was 1.44 - that’s barely significant, my understanding is that the HR has to be 2.5 or better to be meaningful.
Edit: I also understand it’s a function of my low-carb eating.
Edit 2: You inspired me to look over my most recent lab results. They show my HDL is in the green and there is no high-end limiting value. Still, worth checking up on, I agree.

It does come down to diet, been heavy on the carbs lately and sedentary due to back issues, My blood work indicates liver function issues and Dr prescribed a statin? Before a change in diet and exercise? Why would I poison my liver function even more before a change in diet?
