I went last Thursday to get the results of a blood test and the doctor confirmed that I do have Type 111 hyperlipidaemia. so he changed my medication form Bezalip mon which I have been on for years and relaced it with Fenofibrate and soluble aspirin (both once daily). My cholesterol figer has reduced fro 6.00 to 5.6 so that's a start. One thing I am trying to find out is this. Is Type 111 the same as FH?

It's not surprising that HEART UK is focused on FH. Part of it used to be the FH association, after all! Doesn't the BHF cover non FH heart problems pretty well?

Do they? I'm a volunteer with them so I'll ask a few questions.

Not what you're looking for?
