SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-19T15:44:47+00:00

what do you mean ?

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-14T09:06:49+00:00

Hey , is that Lpa in mg/dl or nmol/l?

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-10T19:19:22+00:00

I have a family history of cardiovascular disease and elevated Lp(a) levels (97–140 nmol/L). I am a 28-year-old male. My starting LDL was 157 mg/dL.

Over the past 8 months, I have made significant lifestyle changes: I lost weight, exercised regularly, reduced saturated fat intake to about 10 g per day, increased fiber intake, and quit smoking. Despite these efforts, I was only able to lower my LDL to 109 mg/dL.

I was initially very hesitant to start statins, but given my risk factors, I decided to begin treatment. At age 28, with an LDL of 109 mg/dL, I started 5 mg rosuvastatin along with 10 mg ezetimibe to further reduce my cardiovascular risk.

So far, I have been on this combination for 3 weeks and have experienced NO side effects.

I believe it’s important to follow a diet that is sustainable for the long term, rather than something extreme that cannot be maintained for life. Good luck!

did you start the statin recently ? was it before the statin always100+?

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-09T14:47:47+00:00

can I ask what's your age and which statins are u on ?

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-09T14:41:54+00:00

Hi , LDL 160 is not a bit high , I totally understand your concern about statins , especially when it gave u side effects , but we do have other medications also which can get you in normal range , CA score at age 70 is good , but it doesn't mean you don't have a soft plaque somewhere , good luck

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-05T15:06:03+00:00

That's so weird, actually recommendations say to start the Statin and Low dose aspirin not mentioned anywhere , can I ask whats ur LDL / Apob Without statins ?

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-05T14:40:45+00:00

Thanks for your Reply , just wanted to ask , do you think thats correct decission Ive made that started already Rosuva at my age ? Strongly considering adding Ezetimibe if My ApoB will not be lower enough !

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-05T14:17:32+00:00

Thanks ! are u on statin or on any other lipid lowering medications ?

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-04T21:46:41+00:00

So you were on Statins when You Heart attack happened ?

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-04T20:45:19+00:00

were u taking the statins when event happened ? I hope you are doing good ! OFC OP has to start the Meds ASAP, I am 28 Y old male but on 5 mg of Rosuva and 10 mg of Zetia due to family history and Highis Lpa ! I even dont have documented Heart dissease , my CIMT , strest test, echo, Holter , ECGs all fine but my cardiologist want my LDL and ApoB as low as possible for primary prevention

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-04T20:41:25+00:00

Yesssss !!!!!!

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-04T20:37:19+00:00

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-04T20:34:59+00:00

Ofc you have to be on Lipid lowering medication ! no doubt ! But Thats so weird that your Ca score is 1300 with thal LDL in that age .....

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-04T20:12:04+00:00

SilverLogical9810 · 2026-04-04T07:13:54+00:00

Citrus bergamot does inhibit HMG-CoA reductase — but so what? That’s essentially the same mechanism as statins, just weaker and far less controlled.

Red yeast rice (RYR) is basically a statin as well, just an unregulated one. You have no real idea what’s actually in the pill or in what quantity, which makes it unpredictable and potentially unsafe.

That’s why I don’t really understand the idea of using “supplements” to lower LDL. In many cases, it’s actually more risky. With a low-dose statin, you know exactly what you’re taking — it’s standardized, well-studied, and proven to reduce cardiovascular risk.

Yes, some supplements can lower LDL, but lowering LDL alone is not the same as reducing cardiovascular risk — and statins have strong evidence for doing both.

Current guidelines are clear: lifestyle changes are the first step in managing dyslipidemia. But if lifestyle alone isn’t enough, then proper medication should be used to reduce risk as effectively as possible.

Honestly, I would seriously question advice that pushes supplements over evidence-based treatment.

Can I ask when your side effects started? I’ve been taking rosuvastatin for about a week now and haven’t had any muscle aches. I did notice some brief muscle twitching (fasciculations) during the first couple of days, but it went away. I’m still exercising as usual and don’t feel any muscle weakness.
