Can t take statiin. Terrible cramps. Not diabetic, non-smoker. Stress level totally lowered (retired). Don t want to take medication. Advice, pls.
[|AI|]  Hi, there is no specific treatment to control calcifications in the aorta. What you can do is the strict control of blood pressure, serum levels of LDL cholesterol (below 70), paganism cessation, strict glycemic control and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The USO of medicines like statins could help with the cholesterol control. Your LDL cholesterol level is close to the therapeutic target of 70 and as you already do all non-pharmacological measures for the control of cholesterol, I believe that to achieve reach this goal you need the help of statins. I suggest you look for a cardiologist for further research. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help you. Wish you good health.
