Statin Experiment

After reading several posts on here regarding how much better people have felt after stopping statins,I decided
to experiment for myself. If you stop statins, it takes a while for cholesterol to become affected. Ive decided to
give it a three day run because this should be long enough for the drugs to leave my system.
I have just woken up on day three and I have to say that I feel so much better. A lot of annoying little pains
have gone but most odd of all, I can no longer feel my heart beat. When I usually lay on my side, I can
feel it pounding, but now there is nothing. It's like finally finding peace. I am also breathing much shallower
like I don't need so much air. I can't think why statins would affect my breathing when they are aimed at the
Liver. Maybe with lower CoQ10 the body tissue creates a higher demand for Oxygen? I will start taking my
medication tonight, but I will certainly write to my Cardiologist and speak to my GP about this. I really can't
believe the difference, it's amazing. I have to apologise because I thought people were hallucinating but having
tried it myself I can see how true it is.

After not taking statins for three days I noticed a remarkable difference in my condition.
However, I have now restarted the medication until I speak to a Doctor on the subject.
Three days will not have significantly altered my blood chemistry, and being sensible I
will now discuss the issue with professionals and put forward my evidence. I have a list
of all the changes it made to my well being and so I think I have a strong case. Maybe there is something else they can prescribe.
