[QUOTE="Crocodile, post: 2287061, member: 468583"] What dosage of statin was being pushed. What is your lipid profile like. I've never heard of statins for hypertension before. Just curious. BP isn't high anyway. Diastolic is getting into the worry zone for some GPs but systolic is perfect. I admit that my GP is also very watchful of BP with his diabetic patients as well but mine is OK so no worries on that one. He did talk me into a statin after many months of vacillating and thoroughly explained his reasons. He's been a fantastic Dr for half my life and my dose is the lowest he could go at 2.5mg. I have zero side effects. With my fat heavy diet my cholesterol went from 6.5 to 3.9 but I'd have to go and look up the exact profile. I'm not unhappy with the decision. [/QUOTE]
