Nose bleeds? Now that’s something different.

If you can’t, you can’t. I’m afraid not to take them
now after not taking them before my operation.

I don’t want more by-passes or what I fear the most...stroke.

Red Yeast Rice has the same properties as the statin drugs but without the adverse reactions. Drug companies have been pushing to get it off the market...does that tell you something?

Read up on it...it may be something of interest.

My husband had 4 bypasses a year ago. He couldn't take most of the medicines they put him on. They took him off amioderone)spelling?), and a couple others He takes blood thinner for atrial flutter and the smallest dose possible of a beta blocker (coreg). He is 82, and I am glad he had the operation before the possibiity of Obamacare. He is doing well.

Iunderstand your fear. Most people feel the same as you--afraid not to because the dr. prescribes; just read everything you can about statins. If you haven't subscribed to Newsmax, do so and you will get bulletins on health news. Between the fact that the normal high for cholesterol as well as LDL, triglicerides, etc. were lowered drastically a couple decades ago, and the huge side effects listed for statins, plus the 2 or 3 huge research programs that have been terminated early because the statin group were having many more strokes and heart attacks tha the placebo group--I am much more afraid to take them than not.
