I have never heard a dr call a statin a blood thinner. They work by blocking an enzyme in the liver which produces cholesterol. They aim to lower cholesterol therefore lowering plague in the coronary arteries. Aspirin doesn't do that.
Oh and fwiw I worked in cardiology for a number of years. Don't mean to be rude x

Be careful with any drugs - so many side effects. Losing weight will lower BP and cholesterol.
