I have heard many people talk about not taking statins but I'm new to this heart stuff and I don't know what the alternative is. My new cardiologist found the aortic aneurysm a few weeks ago and wanted me on them immediately. After my calcium score he immediately doubled the statin dose. I haven't had any side effects but I'm not sure where to go from here. Been healthy all my life and now I find this out. Just looking for some insight from people who have these issue or are familiar. Maybe I'm the only one with this combo, but I doubt it.

Here's to champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends.

Roll Tide!
