Side Effects of Statins - What They Are and What to Do

Simvastatin is often prescribed by doctors as part of a management strategy for sore throat. The reason for this is that used statins, simvastatin is of a type which, in order to reduce the production of cholesterol in the liver. Cholesterol is a sticky substance, which accumulate in the arteries of the heart and can lead to a narrowing associated with angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.

Unfortunately, these drugs have side effects have. This includes

· Rhabdomyolysis (muscle destructionCondition)
· Muscle weakness and pain
· Memory Loss
· Insomnia
· Dizziness
· Headache
· Heartburn

Not everyone will experience these side effects, but my experience is that doctors are able to do not have enough information about side effects when prescribing these drugs. As a result it is not until the patient speaks with her doctor that something on that can tell the doctor that the symptomsdescribes a side effect of statins.

I have searched online and have a number of examples of people with these adverse events occurred. They often complain of muscle pain especially in the thighs.

Others have trouble sleeping and was often restless during the night. Perhaps the most worrying is memory loss. A number of people have problems that have reported memory erased, which was changed after their statin.

Ifyou experience any of these side effects, talk to your doctor. It is worthwhile to ask about alternative treatments that can be used instead of statins. There are a number of natural treatments that successfully reduce your cholesterol and your doctor should be able to recommend something for you.
