Strange interaction with Private Health System..?

I feel ok, sometimes a but breathless, occasionally dizzy, but better now I am taking statins and aspirin.Anyway, I made an appt with NHS cardiology. Earliest was next

CT results / PFO
Hi,Having waited 9 weeks for the results of a cardio CT scan due to suspected angina, they have now confirmed there is no furring of the arteries or blockages. They have written to say I should stop the aspirin and beta blockers but remain on the statins. However, I am still left with a racing heart

upset stomach diarrhoea for a month?
I’ve had diarrhoea with stomach cramps for over a month now. Doctor has put me on Fodmap diet which has no gluten, wheat or dairy. I’ve done the diet for over a week now and I’ve got to be on it for 6 weeks. I’ve stuck to it. He gave me anti biotics at the beginning to rule out diviticulitis. It happens

So glad…
…that I’ve found this forum! I’ve suffered with T for over 10 years but the last 12 months or so it seems to have worsened and after reading many stories, I do believe I have Pulsatile Tinnitus. I go to bed tired, fall asleep, then about 2-3 hours later I wake up with a pounding in my head, whooshing

Shock diagnosis and 4 week wait for "Rapid Access" Heart Failure Clinic. Is my Anxiety justified?
Two weeks ago I went for a stress echo test. It was a real shock. After a preliminary echo the test was abandoned. Serious faces and mutterings all round ensued, and a cardiologist came in, studied the screen and told me I had heart failure! She advised me not to go on my planned holiday till I'd seen

Hi all I've just joined the group and look forward to any advice and support that is offered. I have angina.
I have 2 stents in the right coronary artery and despite being on statins since 2011 am experiencing rising cholesterol. I have been referred to the lipid clinic. Various doses and types of statins have caused awful side effects so It has been suggested by the gp that we discuss the injections. Any

Baracitinib & Cholesterol
Good morning, Has anybody seen their cholesterol become very high whilst being on Baricitinib? If so what was the outcome, did you continue to take it or stop it. I’m waiting to hear from my Rheumy who is very good so I don’t know what he’ll advise but I’m hoping I’m not told to go onto Statins but

Advice on halting bone loss following Dexa and hrt or other supplements.
Thyroid cancer at 23, high dose T4 requiring propranolol for 17 years, then battles over dosage post menopause as rules changed. T3, when measured, always seemed to be at a good level. I didn't take HRT as it was at the height of the cancer scare. I regret it now. Sjogrens and very low vitamin D diagnosed

Update to private cardiology consultation.
I am really pleased with today’s appointment. I gave him a list I had typed of all my questions and he went through them one by one. He was very happy with the Kardia ecg printouts and didn’t require an ecg there. We discussed many things Af and heart related. He also reviewed my cholesterol figures

how statins slow growth of prostate
Cedars-Sinai Cancer investigators have found that lowering blood cholesterol enhances the action of immune cells, slowing the growth of prostate cancer. (Clinical Cancer Research: https://doi.org/10.1158/1078-Q434.ccr-21-1535). It provides a rationale for large-scale clinical testing of using cholesterol

is it safe to stop taking statins suddenly?
I have been taking them for a couple of years now, no obvious side effects, but am wondering if they could be causing muscle aches. I am in early 70s so could be just my age, but I would like to try anyway
