What Are The Side Effects Of Being On Crestor?
I am 51 year old male. I am healthy, active, and have had previously none of the markers of angina, yet recently I required the installation of 3 stents. I am now on Crestor and am wondering if my overall life expectancy has been meaningfully statistically shortened and if so, how much?

Hi and thank you for asking!
Your overall life expectancy isn't shortened as long as you have done coronary stenting and will continue with stains and other medical treatment.
Wish you health!
