My Primary Dr schooled me on statins

She told me all kinds of statistics as to why I should take them. She said at my level of cholesterol my risk of heart attack increased by 39%, plus many other stats. She also told me the stats on getting the side effects and they’re actually really low. I think she was annoyed with me but I’m grateful for her response. I’m going to take the medicine as prescribed.

Yeah. Less than 3% get certain scary side effects and less than 1% get the other scary side effects so it’s more beneficial to take it if you need it.

@LilyoftheValley. I’m glad that your doctor was able to allay your fears. Statins are very effective drugs.

Me too @Moonbeam. I’ve always heard it’s really bad to take them.
