[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2210944, member: 506169"] I don't want to alarm anybody, but I didn't think I had any Cardio symptoms. I'd been ignoring occasional numbness in my arms .when off piste skiing at high altitude, for several years. Only when I got the same symptoms when walking did I go yo my GP - it was Angina and I needed a 3x CAB later that year. I'm not a fan of Statins, especially the fat soluble ones which can cross the blood/brain barrier (includes Simvastatin and Atorvastatin). Some studies say these reduce chance of Alzheimers and Parkinsons , but other studies suggest that Statin make these worse/more likely. [/QUOTE]
