Can taking statins cause dizziness?

Taking statins is less likely to cause symptoms of dizziness. Some patients are prone to muscle aches and pains when taking statins because statins sometimes cause muscle lysis in patients. If patients experience dizziness while taking statins, they should be aware of whether it is caused by their own hypercholesterolemia, which can lead to atherosclerosis. This is because patients taking statins usually have hypercholesterolemia, and elevated cholesterol levels can easily lead to atherosclerotic changes in large blood vessels. Atherosclerosis is the basis of many macrovascular diseases, such as cerebral insufficiency, cerebral infarction, and coronary artery disease, all of which are based on this pathology. If dizziness occurs, it should be ruled out that it is caused by insufficient blood supply to the blood vessels, and if necessary, symptomatic treatment with aspirin or other drugs to improve microcirculation should be added along with statins.
