Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I went off statin 2 months ago after having a triple bypass at age 54 in October. I feel better now that I'm not on it. My cholesterol was never high before the surgery. My heart is now in perfect health and I can run 5 k. I am perfect weight. I have changed my diet and am working on that to lower inflammation, gradually healthier. I am on natural supplements and low dose aspirin and astaxanthin. Recently I have experienced bruising very easily. Not sure what to do and also if it is safe to stay off the statin.
