Cholesterol test
Hi I get a yearly cholesterol / thyroid test as my mother had high levels and took
statins
and thyroxine. I’ve been ‘invited’ to go back and discuss my levels with my practice nurse after this year’s test which is not unusual.

Statins

Statins: Researchers uncover how cholesterol-lowering drugs cause muscle pain.
According to the results of their work,
statins
cause enhanced production of a protein called ‘GILZ’ that impairs muscle cell function. https://www.uni-saarland.de/universitaet/aktuell/artikel/nr/21616.html

Stent needed?
She also said I've to start
statins
and to speak to gp in about a week about it. I've made the appointment and see the gp Monday. My cholesterol is OK but my family history isn't. My mum had stent fitted after a heart attack when she was 60. My dad has a heart block and palpitations.

Are my symptoms due to central hypothyroidism?
I’m in my late 30s so they did not want to entertain
statins

Statins for women
[i]"[/i]
[i]Why Has There Been Controversy About
in Women?[/i] [i]...when results of these trials were analyzed only among the enrolled women, the benefits of
statins
have generally failed to reach statistical significance. That is, the benefits of
statins
in women were unproven.

Which is the best hospital in the West Midlands? Urgent!
I'm on the basic drugs, beta blockers, low dose aspirin and
statins
. I am constantly tired and strugle at work (desk job thankfully). On 9th January I received a letter saying I need a coronary angiogram with a view of re-perfusion (stent I guess). And nothing since.

Still concerned about statins
My cholesterol levels were 364, the doctor put me on
statins
about 2 years ago. I have never had a heart problem and most of you seem to say "you don't really need
statins
if there are no other symptoms of heart strain". I then decided to half my statin intake. I recently just stopped them.

New here
I now read that because I'm on
statins
where grapefruit is forbidden I shouldn't be taking this either. Really sad about this.

Is increasing my Levothyroxine safe?
Instead he said I should be taking
statins
for my cholesterol which I do not want to do as I've seen how bad their side effects were for my mother. I then asked if I could insist that my dose be increased to 100mcg.

Stent at 35 another one due 3yrs later, anyone else have experiences of Heart disease at young age that medication/lifestyle haven’t stopped
I know they says stents don’t change prognosis but it’s all we have as they never found any risk factors or high cholesterol &
statins
don’t seem to be stopping it. Any support or advice would be great.

", I thought it might be of interest. https://healthunlocked.com/lchf-diet/posts/142569664/

Statins - More Good News
It is already well known that
statins
have many benefits. These include the lowering of cholesterol (particularly LDL), stabilisation of existing plaque and reduction of irritation (often a precursor to plaque formation).
