Statins

[gness]

Has anyone suffered shortness of breath after a couple of weeks taking Statins? I know it's a possible side effect but so is everything else.

If so, did a change of tablet help?

Have you finished barrowing your topsoil? (How many euphemisms can a girl come up with?)

No Shoota but I'm having to trample it into place and it's sticky. I'm getting taller and taller. x

I take 10mg Ezetrol and 400mg Bezafibrate instead of the usual statins which gave me severe muscle cramps, up to now I've been OK no pain, I put the breathlessness down to smoking. I stopped the statins a few years ago and also stopped smoking which has helped with my breathing, except I.m now overweight since stopping smoking and still a bit out of breath. Need to lose 2stone but not good at depriving myself of a Pork pie or Rocky Road.
