Could The Elevated Value Of CPK Be A Matter Of Concern?
I m 59 years old and had undergone heart bypass one year ago
With blood flow medicine, aspirin and crestor taken, test show i have cpk raised to 226 three months later and to 550 six months later.
I understand this shows some form of muscle damage. Cardiologist says that it is ok, only when it reaches 1000 will it cause some concern. normal tests such as cholestrol, LDL, HDL , liver function(ALT, AST) are ok.
Is there measure to ensure that cpk is restored to normal. Can any nutritional supplements such as COQ10, omega 3, ALA, as well as controlled dieting and exercises ( on a treadmill, skipping) help.? i have stopped taking crestor for about three weeks now.
Doctor, thanks for your advice and hope to receive your reply
