I agree with Txartist, If we wish to live a little longer, some of us must take statin drugs and be able to put up with some side effects. I take 5mg of Crestor(statin), every other night, not much. What is a person to do if they have heart issues, take the drugs or leave earth into eternity, everyone has a choice.

Let the doctors know how your meds make you feel. Bad side effects. They should try other meds for you.

Saw Heart doctor appointment on 3-24-22 the nurse did a EKG and the doctor said your in Afib 139 she said can you feel it no mam. Now I have a new med
and started it 3-25-22 this med has side effects I not happy with but she said I only be on it for a little while probably until June when I see another doctor at the same office as she is in he only comes once a month. She thinking of a pacemaker and blazes ion of my heart which he doe and she does not. Due.
Anyhow I ready to get going and get fixed.
Myself I TELL THE DOCTORS IF THEY WAT ME ON SOMETHING NEW I ASK WHAT IS THIS GOING TO HELP HOW LONG AND IF i DONOT LIKE ANSWER THEY GET A NO i AM NOT TAKING IT.
YOU have a right to say something about your body they DONOT KNOW A D__
THING ABOUT OUR BODYS. IUSUALY DONOT GET A MUCH FROM DOCTORS NOT SEE MY WAY,

I have Afib and over weight, but getting PT and home health. I feel that my knees are hol;;ding me back but I make them go, they are bone on bone I take eliquis 5mg twice daily. I had a heart faller in May of 2020. I Look at each morning as a gift from God that am up I going to do the best i can. Yes It is frustrating not to do the thing use to but you can take a walk in a park or around your house or Apartment. In the morning and a hat to keep you cool. Jaye just do what you can and enjoy something different. I do not know where you live I live in Texas and Summers here are HOT. Praying for you Deb.M.

The fatigue is so depressing. I used to be such an active person...flight attendant, ballroom dancer, tennis and down-hill skiing. I always had a million things to do. Now, when I get up in the morning and put my feet on the floor, my first thought is, “Well, what kind of day is this going to be?” Its soooo frustrating.

I am taking a half tablet 2 times a day at 25-26 mg doses (small dose) and my blood pressure be low in am. I wish I could tolerate a higher dose of my ef.

I was taking entresto and it drop my blood pressure l almost fainted 3 times at work

Tired has become the new normal so I listen to my body although the mind wants me to keep going. Sometimes I’m able to push through the tired others days no.

I won’t take statins, too many people have awful side effects with them and I have enough with the heart medications I need to take. At the end of the day we need to have quality of life, no one lives for ever, and need to enjoy every day.
