Suggest Treatment For High Cholesterol And BP Levels

Posted on Fri, 18 Aug 2017

Question: I am 69, am in good health I think ( except very high cholesterol but never high blood pressure). Had breast cancer 3 years ago. Recent fatigue, mild nausea, very mild occasional headaches, night leg cramps...especially the outside left lower leg-deep. Any correlation between those symptoms?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
High cholesterol is usually a silent disease with no obvious symptoms unless you are on statin group of medicines. These symptoms can occur if you are taking the statin group of medicines.
Have you had any recent check up regarding the breast cancer?
Do get back with your input.

I am not on statins, as they caused terrible leg cramps. My blood pressure remains pretty low. Yes I have had recent check ups with my regular physician and with my oncologist
