Question: from Joe
Hi. I am a 70 year old male. 5′10″ jog regularly 1 to 3 miles. Do the 3 miles in about 30 minutes. After about 2-3 years of experimentation my Dr. finally found the combination of Crestor 10mg and Zetia 10mg, once a day got my LDL down to 70 and total Cholesterol down to 135.
No problems with triglycerides or hdl. When we started the total cholesterol was >300 and the LDL was over 240. He, the Dr. is happy with the results. However, I am concerned about the supposed side effects of the statin drugs as I am very active, and do a lot of physical things in keeping the ranch running smoothly.
As a result of either the statin drug or the activity, some of my muscles are nearly always sore, and I am not sure if it is a reaction to the Crestor or due to the combination of age and activity. As a result of this uncertainty, I would prefer to keep the Cholesterol level down without the crestor,
