@doc4heart: I’m Dr. Michael Richman,a double board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon. In today’s video, I discuss the fact that statins do not deplete the brain of cholesterol contrary to what circulates on social media. I have previously discussed statins and dementia, and the fact that the overwhelming evidence shows that people on statins actually have less dementia. So if you have high cholesterol, you need to take this potentially life-saving medication and stop listening to the nonsense. #dementia #statins #cholesterol #alzheimers #brainhealth

I’d like you to talk about the side affects of statins on your muscles.

Do you prefer rosuvastatin over atorvastatin for this reason?

Thank you. This is good information. As are most of your videos. You can be a bit cantankerous, but I find it somewhat endearing. And like at least one other cardiologist on TikTok, you seem to think there is nothing new to learn in the world of cardiology. Nonetheless, I appreciate your content.

Absolutely love all your videos … you’re a wealth of knowledge… curious what your thought are on drinking wine … i’ve seen a few cardiologist videos and they have eliminated alcohol/wine… not sure I can do that 🤔 We live a pretty healthy lifestyle …exercise a ton and eat healthy …but not sure I can give up my weekend wine … headed to Tuscany in the fall. 😂

My husband and I both take atorvastatin 10 mg , no issues . My question is does it matter what time of the day you take it and if it is taken at night late in the evening, can it cause vivid dream because I take it at night late and I dream every single night. I wake up in the morning and I remember I was dreaming.. or is it just a coincidence.
