I was on 5 mg Rasuvastatin once daily from 6/08/2022 until 3/16/2023. I am 74.
On 6/08/2022 my LDL was 131 and my HDL was 91. On 3/16/2023 my
LDL was 87 and my HDL was 99. On that date I got a high calcium score of 440 but a heart catheterization showed minimal plaque in my coronary arteries. My Rasuvastain was increased to 10mg daily. I was also diagnosed with fibromuscular dysplasia with no significant stenosis anywhere including my brain. My doctor wants to prescribe Lipitor which can also cause dizziness and fainting. I have been offered no alternatives.
