Crestor Statin Intake

Hi,

I am a moderate drinker, have been for about 20 years. I am 38.

I was recently diagnosed with  high triglyceride levels after my fasting bloods were taken. I was prescribed by my Doctor with a course of 20mg Crestor Statin. I took them for three months, however still enjoyed my nightly red wine ( about one bottle per day )

My Liver count after the first test was 60.

I then attended a fitness test recently due to my not feeling that well. The Hospital Doctor was evry happy with my fitness levels, heart, lungs, etc. However, when he asked the local G.P. for my second batch of blood tests, he told me to stop taking the Statin of 20mg immedialtely.

I then found out that mu liver ocunt had rocketed from 60 to 131 over these three months.

I have now stopped tkaing the Statin, and have been told to attend my local GP in 4 to 6 weeks time for more blood tests.

Should I be concerned and also what would be the most practical diet to now follow.

I am concerned

Kind Regards

Steve
