My DN advised me very recently that i should start taking one Statin tablet per day.
My Chloresterol levels have always been good throughout my life, and indeed the most recent one was 3.5.
But she said they recommend patients of my age ( 59 ) to take them to lessen risk of stroke/heart attack in years to come.
She said there are possible side effects ( muscle cramps ) - I asked which muscles, and she said calfs...
Any advice / opinions please ?
