I'm on Crestor 40mg and Ezetrol 10mg for my cholesterol, and here's what my latest results show: Total Cholesterol is 4.25, LDL is 2.5, HDL is 0.93, and Triglyceride is 1.82, all in mmol unit. Lately, I've been feeling really fatigued and I suspect it might be muscle pain or tiredness from the statins. I've lost some focus too. I'm thinking of reducing my statin dosage. Could you give me some advice on what to do about this?

Based on your symptoms of fatigue, muscle pain, tiredness, and difficulty focusing, it is important to discuss with your healthcare provider about potentially reducing your statin medication. It is possible that these symptoms could be related to the statins you are taking. One option to consider is switching to a different statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Atorvastatin is another type of statin that may have a different side effect profile for you. However, it is crucial to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
