What statin (if any) have you taken long term?

I am taking Rosuvastatin. Started with 10mg. as soon as my PCP saw my CAC (almost 1600). Then cardiologist number two put me on 20mg. I have no side effects, a couple of people I know have joint and muscle discomfort so as per their Doctor they take CoQ10 (over the counter) + baby aspirin. I did all the tests but still angiogram was suggested. I found out had 60%-70% blockage on LAD artery. Decided NOT for a stent and just aggressive care management with my cardiologist.

Hello Alaskat
May I ask did your Cac score improve after 20mg of Rosuvastatin & CoCq10 (i guess 100mg)
Thanks

Can I ask why you chose not to go for a stent. I am booked for one and the same artery as they used to call the LAD Artery the widow maker.

No side effect regimen. Lowered my LDL score in 1 year by 26 points while maintaining great my HDL by taking Q10 100 mg daily and Olive leaf extract 100mg daily. I also follow a good diet limiting sodium to 1000mg to 1750mg daily. Diet is high in fiber as well. Live well and prosper.
