I am a 74-year-old woman who walks every day and am not overweight. I had a stent put in two-and-a-half years ago. I have high blood pressure and cholesterol problems. I have tried all the statins and every one causes muscle pains. The pain gets so bad that I cannot sleep at night. I watch my diet, but what else can I do to help myself?
