[QUOTE="zand, post: 1874386, member: 85197"] I think doctors use any excuse or ailment as a reason to put someone on statins. I had A-Fib for 2 separate periods of approximately 2 years (I have been A-Fib free since a catheter ablation in 2012, if I do feel my heart is a little out of rhythm now I have one dose of magnesium and it usually goes straight back to sinus rhythm). I have never taken stains. I have read that there is no clinical evidence that statins have ever been of any clinical benefit for women, and on those grounds I would always refuse them. Not sure what I would do if I were your hubby, but I reckon lack of sleep can't be doing him or his A-fib much good. There's a few thread here about statins, I would read the links in those to help him decide what to do. [/QUOTE]
