Side effects of statin?

Posted by rainerhans @rainerhans, 1 day ago

I know it’s always hard to tell, but I am taking Rosuvastatin 5 mg (only)…since May and my joint and muscle pain let me not sleep anymore.
I have to mention that I have 4 replacements already.
Even with pain killers it’s hard.
My doctor told me with this minimal Dosis, there would be no side effects, but take it as a preventative action to avoid further clocking up on a artery (37%) already and cholesterol borderline results.
What kind of experience do you you all have with low Dosis of statin?
Anyone else has problems?
Thank you all.
PS. I contacted my doctor already…waiting for a feet back.

Awesome! You will have such great news to share with your cardiologist.

I know there are a couple types of CoQ10 and I take Ubiquinol. Which type did you start?

@rainerhans is waiting for a cardiology conversation. I am super curious to hear how that goes, and your appointment as well.

I've been taking the NOW Ubiquinone 200 mg, but a few days ago I ordered the Qunol 200mg Ubiquinol, after reading that is the better form.
I also had my CT angiogram last week which showed no plaque (!), but still moderately reduced EF, so not sure if they will proceed further to figure out the cause of the weakness.
