I would like to know more about this. I've been on a statin for several years and feel like my energy has dropped through the floor in that time. I also feel like I have a 'statin hangover' when I wake up in the morning (I usually take it with my supper). This could all be correlation, and aside from cholesterol levels I haven't been diagnosed with heart disease. But I would like to know more, because I hate taking this stuff and really don't like the idea of being on it the rest of my life.
- podgaj 6y agoThis is pretty much all you need to know: https://ubiquinol.org/sites/default/files/statins.gif https://ubiquinol.org/sites/default/files/statins.gif The thinking on cholesterol and heart disease is changing rapidly and there really is no strong evidence high cholesterol before a heart attack leads to any bad outcomes. After a heart attack, statins are ok. But like we see, side effects. My doc wanted me on them but they gave my mother horrible myopathy so I passed. My HDL was really low until I took out all plant oils and eat fats pretty much only from fish and olive oil. Now my HDL in mid range normal. This is becasue the omega 3 helps with reverse cholesterol transport. But again, this is me and my genetics. We have Saami (Inuit) heritage which is why I think i need this diet.
