Im on simvastatin,i take coq10 and collagen too,would it be safe to stop the simvastatin if its causing muscle pain if im taking the other stuff?what else lowers cholesterol over the counter?why does aspirin make me dizzy when i take it for the pain?

Statins can cause mild pain in some patients, but it's difficult to know when other supplements are being used. If it is mild, it typically stops with discontinuing the statin, but if it is severe, you should have evaluation and blood tests. The best way to lower your cholesterol without medication is exercise and a "whole foods" (no processed carbs) diet. Stop the aspirin.
