Statins, prescribed to lower cholesterol levels, are not without a major downside.
As always, this is not medical advice, and I urge you to have a conversation with your doctor if you have been prescribed statins; popular names include Lipitor, Crestor, Zocor, Pravachol amongst others.
Common side effects of these drugs include: muscle pain and fatigue, increase in type II diabetes, liver & kidney damage, memory loss and confusion and more.
If you are taking a statin it is recommended that you supplement with 100-300 mg CoQ10. https://drsarahbrewer.com/statins-and-co-enzyme-q10
Here is a good place to start your research: https://bit.ly/MayoStatins but you can simple type "statin side effects" into google and choose where you would like to learn your information from.
It's always a good idea to do your own research and advocate for yourself. Your doctor should be open to have a discussion with you about your wellness and your health concerns.
