I was prescribed statins at 27 for my slightly high cholesterol. I literally couldn’t walk from them. I told my doctor I will never take them again and he said I will have a heart attack or stroke. It’s been 2 years and even after a pregnancy which increased my cholesterol even more I haven’t had any heart problems. 😂

Take fish oil supplement to help lower your risk of heart. Attack. I was not able to move my legs and with severe right shoulder pain which like my arm got chopped off 😂.

I’d had knee surgery back in March. I had been taking a statin. I had severe swelling. Nothing worked to relieve me. Not even Tylenol, muscle rubs and messages. A few days ago, I stopped taking the statin and lo and behold I am not swelling and in pain. I knew it. I’m watching what I eat and switched over to eating vegetables and bitter foods. This is of my own doing. I’m tired of being sick.

@edwaggoner7403 3 года назад

I have been on astorvastatin for years for borderline cholesterol. I was having aches and pains along with stiffness. I had been considering reducing or stopping the drug. Then my neighbor also on astorvastatin developed muscle weakness where she could hardly walk and fell backwards down her stairs while headed to bead at night. She was diagnosed with necrotizing meyosititus (sp). Now she receives an IV for four hours two consecutive days once a month for the last six months. The dr. said was caused by the statin. I subsequently talked with my GP and stopped my statin drug. BTW i am 72 and recently had a physical including echocardiogram and cardio stress test. Passed all with no narrowing of any blood vessels.

@simsimmons8884 3 года назад

I had so much pain I had unnecessary surgery! Pain showed up in my shoulder ON ONLY ONE SIDE! Since most pain from statins usually exhibits on both sides of your body...no doctor thought it was the statins. Cried myself to sleep for 6 months then got addicted to opioids. Luckily my chlorestoral got worse and doctor doubled my statin. Pain so bad for two minutes months that I realized it was the statin. I decided to stop the statin completely. Three days later, after two years of pain, all pain stopped. Advice- 1) no matter what the doctors suggest, take half the dose or less for a while to gauge side effects. 2) When doctors do not know something, they blame you, not their lack of knowledge 3) You must be your own advocate regardless of how you are treated by docs and nurses. Fight for yourself regardless of what you are told. Hope this helps you.

Doctor, you are super. Your slow n clear talk will benefit millions. I am 80 n a stroke patient. My doctor prescribed Atorvastaatin 20 mg. After taking it for a year I found body pains n shortage of bile. As a pharmacist I was able to identify the source as the statin. I stopped using n my body aches disappeared. In about a year bile normalised. And today I am hundred percent better. No statins for me.🙏🙏🙏

For every drug there is a side effect so said my deceased father 30/ years ago. Nothing changes as Big Pharma companies will still get their huge profits, still be sued billions of dollars for negligence, side effects, fraud, bribery. Ethics don’t always matter over profit and side effect and deaths from meds are just a by product of their inventions.

I was going through a tougher lifestyle eg confided into a wheelchair, aches and terrible pain the whole body, could not manage to feed myself, till I went for pre assessment, the Consultant told me to stop Statins for 4 weeks otherwise there will be complications during the operation. Second week when stop the treatment I could use my hands by feeding myself, learning to walk with a Zimmer flame the pain decreased. After the operation I decided not to take. I suffered for many years without knowing the cause stress depression and anxiety the medication put me through. Thanks Dr for the helpful information 👍 God bless you 🙏

Now the pain is mainly in lower back and thighs and now working into my knees. I am choosing to discontinue my Repatha therapy for atleast 6 months to let my body get back to normal. I have tried pain medication several different kinds. Ibuprofen and shots of Toradol at ER seem to have the best relief. but only temporary. The more this medication for me that is taken (Repatha) the more it builds up and effects my liver and the pain is getting worse and so is my health. It has caused me to become crippled and I can barely walk. last shot taken 2 weks ago or so and I am just now getting over the painful peak. I am probably in the 5% that can not tolerate this kind of medication. Proluent did the same thing even worse in 3 months thiat one was horrible. So for now I have to try to watch my diet even more closely. I am preparing to do a DNA of my health to see if it can give me a more in depth idea about my body composition and sensitivities.

Thank you doctor for this information. It does help for me understand the pain that I'd been suffering for years. I didn't know taking statin drugs causing pain. I thought something is missing like viramins. I'm taking vitamin C, D, B12 but the pain is still there. I didn't know it's the statin doing it. Thank you for the info. I will definitely watch your next video. 🙏

since it effects muscle groups it likely adversly effect the heart. No one mentions that probability.We all should be locating where someone discusses that. Cardiologist for starters

I’m 75. My doctor wants me continue with Atorvastatin. I was taking very long time. I couldn’t understand why am I getting mussels spasm on my shoulders. After listening you on RU-vid, I stopped it about year ago. My spasm gone since then. I told my doctor about my experience. I just wanted to thank you. Please continue sharing your knowledge and expertise. By the way my cholesterol level excellent, at lower to mid range.

I have been taking statins for many many years and my legs felt like I was carrying around two tree trunks. Read up on them and stopped taking them three months ago and I can walk further, get out of the chair better and no pain, also it’s like walking on lighter branches now. Thank you.

@rohinihyde4766 Год назад

I was on Lipitor for slightly elevated cholesterol for about 1 year - my dr put down my muscle weakness to being age related, but after two months I knew that she was wrong as people don't age so fast. At my insistence she ordered a blood test and my CK levels were found to be elevated. Stopped that statins and went to a naturopath who subscribed COQ10 and acupuncture. Took about six months to feel normal again. Thanks for this video - very interesting and well explained.

@@derekearles9844 Me too. I've been on 4 different statins at various doses of each and they all give me muscle and joint aches and dizziness and a foggy head. It took my doctor nearly 2 years to stop pestering me to take them. I think on the UK, doctors now realise that statins don't even do much to lower cholesterol.

@elizabethfuhr5527 3 года назад

Night cramps can be deficiency in Magnesium. Day cramps or during exercise can be deficiency in Potassium. Deficiency in either or both Mg and K plus intake of Statins can make cramping worse: very painful. Potassium is easier for the body to absorb compared to Magnesium. Mg requires appropriate level of acidity in the stomach for better absorption.

I only take half per day, however, my cholesterol and triglycerides were on the 4 and 5 hundred. 3 months after just had labwork, and both are normal. 😉 I almost forgot, she put me on Omega 3 too, prescribed odose, not over the counter ones.

@sandywhite1550 3 года назад

@@derekearles9844 Vitamin D deficiency can also cause leg cramps. I’m on a low dose 5 mg rosuvastatin and also take 2,000 mg of D3 daily. Most people are deficient in vitamin D because it comes mainly from the sun or fish oils. People in the northern hemisphere and people with dark skin tone don’t absorb enough vitamin D and need to take a daily supplement. Light exercise also relieves leg muscle pain.

I recently started having pain in the middle of my upper right arm and lesser pain in my left upper arm. Sharp, stabbing pain to the point where I couldn't sleep. I thought I had overworked myself so I took a break and rested but it didn't help. I take atorvastatin 10mg starting about a year ago. I started researching the side effects and was shocked! As of right now, I refuse to take it any more. I will discuss this with my doctor the end of next month on my next visit. I guess I'm going to have to make some lifestyle changes!

@vancouveruzbekistan5350 7 месяцев назад

why did you not carefully research the side effects BEFORE you started taking statins???

@Drostvideo 3 года назад

I was prescribed a statin by my doc to lower cholesterol but after learning the bad side effects I asked if their was an alternative. He said change your diet which I've done. I was surprised he didn't mention that option before prescribing a statin.. Do you recommend statins to lower cholesterol?

@ThinkYourHealth 3 года назад

A very good question with no straight forward answer, as the answer is more nuanced.The hallmark of treatment are : LIFESTYLE CHANGES: Lifestyle modifications such as smoking cessation, increase in physical activity, and improvement in diet have important beneficial effects on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality . These changes are effective even shortly after they have been started.In one of my previous videos I have recommended the Mediterranean diet .Now according to medical guidelines the following are recommendation given to Doctors on when to start a patient on a Statin drug: I have labelled them as 1 and 2 so that you can read the current established guidelines.(1)Patients with established coronary heart disease (CHD) have a high risk of subsequent cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and death from cardiovascular disease (CVD). (2) Similarly, patients without established disease but who have a 10-year risk of >7.5 to 10 percent or greater are at relatively high risk. This your Doctor can calculate given your medical history. My approach is slightly different as I want patients to take responsibility for their health and I hook them up with a dietician and if need be talk to our physical therapy department about an exercise program.So even if Cholesterol and in particular LDL- cholesterol might be higher and they do have risk factors the benefits of a regular exercise program and diet outweigh Statin treatment and potential side effects. ( There are certain diseases with high Triglycerides where we need to start at once, but this is too much detail).I will reiterate also what I wrote as an answer to Dr.Sno as she asked about when to start or stop treatment in older adults.This is what I wrote: The decision whether to treat an elevated LDL-C in an older individual should be individualized based on both chronological and biologic age. I am conservative with my patients and patients with a limited life span from a concomitant illness, frailty, multiple co-morbidities are probably not a candidates for drug therapy. I usually start having these discussions after age 70, especially after 80.I have a sub set of patients who are quite medically complex, and in fact had a conversation with our pharmacy consultant last week to identify patients who might be on Statins looking for opportunities to taper or titrate doses off.I have linked a PDF link which you can read and those are the recommendations I follow: www.choosingwisely.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Cholesterol-Drugs-For-People-75-And-Older-AMDA.pdf.

The wife of one of my colleagues entered the field of study of interactive pharmacology. There needs to be more study in this area, especially now that the trend tends to be to throw a pill at whatever seems to be ailing one.

@ThinkYourHealth 3 года назад

Yes, I agree.Unfortunately, there is a pill culture ..... a pill is thrown at any symptom.Discussion to figure out what might be going on with a patient is not held. Unfortunately, in a fee for service system,Doctors and other providers only have a certain amount of time to delve into the issues and "throwing" a pill at a patient appeases the patient and "solves" the problem during that particular visit.Non-pharmacological solutions are not explored enough.
