Statins lower cholesterol but Lower cholesterol does not reduce heart attacks in any statistically meaningful way. We've been LIED to. it is MORE important to keep your blood sugars / triglicerides. Cut out sugars and get some exercise. even if it's just walking. Do your own research !!
I had a debilitating side effect of edema in my legs, ankles and feet. Also bad muscle pain. I researched this and found out that the people taking statins also suffered the same side effects as I did. They stated that after stopping their statins that most or all of their edema disappeared in 3-5 days. Mine were all gone in 6 days. That was 2+ months ago. No symptoms since stopping the statin (Rosuvastatin) that I was on. I will not take them ever again.
My doctor changed me from 10mg Simvastatin to 20 mg Rosuvastatin. 3 months later she changed me to 40mg Crestor. Then my lab test showed fatty liver and I am starting to have pain under my left ribcage again. I love learning. Thank you!
It also causes dementia that’s what their not telling people i have high cholesterol and have never taken medication for it but there still wondering why I haven’t had a heart attack yet duh it’s because I workout and watch what I eat

Hi, my doctor prescribes statins rosuvastatin (Crestor) for cholesterol control.After a year I developed what could be similar to Alzheimer's symptoms. I had difficulty remembering things ( 15 minutes of memory ).I had been tested with the Montreal test and they said that I could have the beginning of Alzheimer's. After that I went to the internet google and TH-cam and from there some TH-cam doctors told in a video that statins were affecting cholesterol and that the brain made up with a lot of it. Guest what, I stopped taking those statins and 2 weeks after I didn't have any symptoms. A real miracle, I could have continue taking that medicine and have bad symptoms for the reste of my life. TH-cam had made me realize what could have been the source of my problem. No thanks to my doctor and his staff. . LESSON : STATINE ARE NOT WITHOUT RISK!
I exercise regularly and noted more muscle fatigue while on rosuvastatin. Other effect was severe eczema noted especially on legs from knees down. This also manifested as dryness in other areas of body where I would wake up scratching lateral thorax and lower back causing chronic inflammatory changes that included hyperpigmentation. This itching resolved after stopping and tried restarting every other day but still recurred. I will not take it again.
@@quhaytotv5864 I have had no adverse effects from stopping the medication. My lipid levels are completely normal as well. When I was put on it the cardiologist said everyone should be one it for insurance against heart attack and stroke. Statins are the most prescribed medications in the world and is a cash cow for drug companies.
If you reduce from 20mg to 10 mg after 1 wk to 5 mg n then zero, no side effects. I have wean off lipitor, simvastatinb and rosuvastatin this way. i hv bad side effects, vomitting x2 a week. cut off all medications until this one. before i ask my GP and he says " cannot be". Donot trust any GP. they only study dishing out drugs to relief or cure problems but nvr listens to side effects problems. because they choose not to know. Hence now i exercise regularly n eat sensibly . No need sny drugs. for 10 yrs now but have high cholesterols but it is not the problem. inflammation is the killer. try to eat foods that donot cause inflammation like milk and sugars etc. fact check your doctors words because they also need money to survive...supreme court judges who are schooled in justice n law all their life can be corrupted because of money, why not a doctor? fact chk them because money is the root of all evils
I found this video very informative. I was prescribed Crestor nearly 10 y ago. For the past 2 to 3 years I have experienced intense pain that affects my quality of life. I am now checking if this medication is responsible.
It took me almost a year to find out that statins can cause all kinds of harm to your body , and I'm also c19 shot free as well and feeling fine at 80+ .
Hello Dr Kwakiutl. . Thank you for what you’re doing - please advise the percentage of “forgetfulness “ or dementia side effect due to Crestor consumption and if that is dose dependent ? All the best
I have decent cholesterol and a 89 ApoB but started to take 2.5 mg a day for precautionary measures. Just started this and will get lab work again in a month or so.
Very informative. Have you heard any side effects like dry or cotton mouth while using Crestor? I've noticed this since I started taking 10 mg of Crestor.
My Friend was prescribed this, and she wasn't told about alot of the Side effects, and problems that may incurr whilst taking her magnesium tablets and when to take it, mmmmm Very Good Video Mate 👍🤔
I think you should go easy on training while youre on it Once the cholesterol is fixed then you can start being an athlete again Exercice daily but moderatly like just enough to keep your athletic shape
@@HealthRX ,, I am on 10 mg Crestor currently for high LDL (5) . Importantly, my HDL is also high (1.76) . I started just a month or so ago . I am 53 with normal blood glucose levels and blood pressure also normal. I've had a couple close relatives with kidney issues . Any suggestions ? Do i need to take Crestor with additional water ? I love fruits, especially oranges.
I was feeling weird in my chest an pain I kept calling the ambulance cause I was not acting right so now I'm waiting on my doctor to get me a better medicine for my cholesterol

Thank you for sharing this video of information about this medication. I am on a blood thinner medication, but it’s not Coumadin aka Warfarin. It’s a5 mg. tablet of Eloquise. Is it okay to take with the Rosuvastatin 5mg. tablets. Once a day are the directions for both medications. I am supposed to start the Rosuvastatin on Friday. Does the Eloquise 5 mg. tablet going to clash with the Rosuvastatin 5mg. tablet?

Go low carb. Low carb diet will help your fatty liver, cholesterol and triglycerides.

Thank you very much. Very concise.
I think the 12.7% Myalgia claim is way low. Everybody I've ever talked to that take statins complain about muscle and joint pain.
I used to take 20 mg of atorvastatin a day, and now I take 5 mg of rosuvastatin per day. I've never had muscle and joint pain from either statin.
I think you should go easy on training while youre on it
Once the cholesterol is fixed then you can start being an athlete again

My body can't tolerate any statins. Makes my muscles feel like they are pulling from my bones.
@@fixpacifica I had 10 mg and because of muscle pain reduced to 5mg but does 5mg still do the job??
Myalgia is caused by nerve damage. I am facing this on my right thigh with numbness and pain. I used to Rosday 5 mg since a long time.
Thankful very informative. Heaven bless you all

I’m experiencing all side effects, grrr Cardiologist changed to Pravastatin….
Did that work without the muscle pain?
The more i diet the higher my cholesterol goes up , i believe we need good and bad cholesterol levels as god made us with them both .
Thank you. The best information so far
Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching.
Fenofibrate review pls
Lowering your cholesterol does not lower your risk of heart attack, triglycerides is the important number. Statins are a gimmick.
You should talk about muscle soreness from it that by far is the worst problem if you don't agree you don't what you're talking about
He did talk about it

The truth is there are no such thing as a side effect, there is only an effect.
This drug took my quality of life away. Do not take it.
