@donnanm, you really have overlapping things going on that make it difficult. I look forward to hearing how you do with CoQ10.

This may be a perfect time to draw the stick figure described in the podcast before you start CoQ10, then again some time later to compare. Did that make sense in the podcast?

@donnanm My husband takes statins and his cardiologist has him take Red Yeast Rice capsules along with it. It has worked very well for him..

@yaya77066 Thank you. My friend told me about that but I read that it can cause damage to your liver and kidneys

Very difficult to know what is in red yeast rice and the strength of active
ingredient-safer to take the pharmacy prescription.

So far so good, His cardiologist sends him for blood work every 6 months. Here is all that I can find that may be helpful for you.
Red yeast rice contains monacolin K, which can affect liver function.
It may lead to elevated liver enzymes, indicating liver stress or damage.
Kidney function can also be impacted, especially in those with pre-existing conditions.
Regular monitoring of liver and kidney health is advisable when using red yeast rice.
Consult a healthcare professional before starting red yeast rice, especially if you have liver or kidney issues.
Discontinue use if you experience symptoms like jaundice, dark urine, or abdominal pain.
