Statins can be worst than high cholesterol.

Statins are a type of medication used to manage high cholesterol. The side effects of statins may be seen by some as worse than the risks of having high cholesterol. These side effects can include:

muscle pain
fatigue
dizziness
sluggish digestion
low blood platelet count
Statin use may also lead you to develop other conditions, such as type 2 diabetes. If you’re already at a higher risk for developing these types of conditions, you may want to talk with a healthcare professional about avoiding statins if possible.

I lowered mine by changing my diet. More veggies than meat ( 6ozs at the most now days), more salmon, oat meal and eat a bowl of Cheerios for supper most nights. You will just have to experiment because I found what worked for some didn’t work for me at all.
