statin drug side effects

A:Stop taking it and call his doctor. If the symptoms are caused by the drug then they should go away when he stops taking it.

A:Age-related hypertension is a myth, and whoever diagnosed you is wrong. Your systolic pressure should be "100 + your age" -give or take roughly +/- 10. That's average for the world population. Your diastolic should be roughly 100 at rest, for your age. You'll find a lot of nurses, trolley-pushers, and the like, will say "It's an INDICATOR"... indicating that it means something 'special' to them because they possess some mysterious knowledge to which the rest of us are not privy. But when challenged to describe precisely what "IT" indicates, and what the criteria are by which judgments are made, they are at a loss to put it into words. - much like reading the entrails of a sacrificed goat By all means take statins; they're good, but many side effects include joint seizure, nightmares and skin rashes. but different ones have different effects on different people. Experiment with some until you find what's right for you. But don't expect them to reduce your B/P's. they simply can't, nor won't, and it DOESN'T MATTER! Honestly.
