Crestor, just recently available as generic rosuvastatin, reduces bad cholesterol or LDL. Available in multiple different strengths, Crestor may prevent heart attacks, stroke and death from cardiovascular related causes. More obvious risk reduction occurs in those already suffering from cardiac disease; use in otherwise healthy individuals provides much less apparent benefit. Increasingly doctors are questioning the role of cholesterol as a risk factor.

Dr. Ken, I have been on a Ketogenic Diet since the beginning of March while we were in lockdown during the COVID-19 pause. I started doing Keto to lower my blood sugars. Prior to this my blood panels were relatively good. although my LDL was a slight bit elevated. While my GP was not overly concerned, I still researched and began the Keto diet. In 5 mos, I dropped 17lbs. Significant because I have Hypothyroidism. So this was a huge win. Blood panels did reveal ny TSH was significantly high, BUT A1C was T 5.4, BP 115 /84 (avg). My LDL was over 7% and soon the doctor suggested statins. I let her talk me into filling but that is it! Not going to get them. No sir!!!I am taking 3 Flaxseed caps, Garlic tabs and now introduced and old Indian classic, Tumeric. Let's see if this, a combo of walking and exercise, Intermittent Fasting and the Keto Diet can rectify some of this.

Started taking rosuvastatin and developed dyspnea and a weird swallowing issue. I was on it for quite awhile before I realized this started around the same time I started the statin. I've been off it for a month and my breathing has dramatically improved. I have no CVD history in my family, but was given it because I had high LDL cholesterol. I won't even try another statin. I know this is rare, but it made my quality of life very poor.

I was prescribed statins years ago for a minimal rise in cholesterol but recently found out that I was prescribed because I had a stroke/Tia. One problem……..I’ve never had a stroke!!! In all those years I was never monitored. My Dr is still pushing me to take Rhuvastatin 10:15 , 5mg twice a week even though my cholesterol level is 3.8. I have severe muscular pain which causes me to suffer from vasovagal pain related syncope. I’m unable to walk now and have brain atrophy. I’m furious..

@@dragontile but it is my GP’s fault…….I have not had a medicine review or blood test for 8years as I was missed off the usual list of over 60’s. My practice has apologised and since started doing the usual yearly checks this year. Recent full blood tests have shown I have developed Osteoporosis, very low thyroid levels and a review of my meds have shown contradictions in the meds I have. I also suffer from kidney and muscular issues which are a serious complication of statins. Note that over the past eight years I have been reduced to a mobility scooter……..ALL issues reported and not acted upon!!!

@anthonyshaw8698
@anthonyshaw8698 2 года назад
I agree!! Get your coronary artery calcium score checked, along with ApoB lipoprotein tested which is equally important. That will let you know whether to take a statin or not. For some folks, you can attack this with proper diet and exercise, but if you already have plaque formation in your arteries, a bad CAC Score. It may be necessary to get on a statin asap!! Crestor works the best for me, compared to others.

Does anyone had seizures while on crestor? I was on crestor for about 4 years when I started having seizures. Went to lots of specialists that had some tests done, even a CT scan that came up normal. So the one doctor told me in 2014, that I should stop taking my cholestrol pills. I did and since then I never had a seizures again. Although no doctor could confirm that it was the cholestrol pills that caused the seizures I am seizure free now for 6 years. Would love to know if someone else also had such an experience?

LDL should be under 99. I'm sure I'll get there if I continue to take it. Just wanna make sure this is safe. So much conflicting information out there. You dont know what to believe. I don't believe anything the FDA says, and most doctor's.🤔

Taking statins will absolutely lower your cholesterol numbers. But what he is saying and what I have found from multiple research studies is that lowering those numbers through statins does not translate into living longer or avoiding g a cardiac episode. To me, there has to be another component to preventing heart disease that the medical community has not yet discovered. Cholesterol, and its iterations, as we know it does not appear to be the killer we have been taught that it is.
@johannesvanhoek9080
@johannesvanhoek9080 Год назад
It definitely lowers your cholesterol numbers, but that seems to be more important than anything else, but that does not necessarily translate into longevity Statins are the most prescribed medicine in the world, it’s a money making deal, If someone is so concerned with their LDL, then ask your doctor for an advanced lipid test, to dictate whether the particles are small, which are damaging or buoyant, which just basically flows through your system, it has to do with particle size, not how much cholesterol you have Many people do not realize that your body produces 3000 mg of cholesterol every day, they also don’t realize that your brain is made from cholesterol 🤔👍
