Do taking Statins cause shortness of breath?

Posted by babswel1 @babswel1, 1 day ago

I have begun to do research on this topic as I began taking statins for high cholesterol years ago. I have shortness of breath which began after the doctor out me in statins.

A few studies medical studies I have read pointed to the weakening of middle body muscles weakening possibly caused by statin intake. Would like to hear feedback on this.

I have muscle spasms in the stomach area as well as shortness of breath. My doctor changed my statin. The spasms are a little better.
