Basically when I had my annual thyroid test towards the end of last year my TSH was 4.5. My cholesterol was also raised to 7.1. GP increased levo by 50 mg per week and told me the Thyroid being high had nothing to do with Cholesterol levels! As I do my research I believed that it did. I have always kept

I’ll be 71 in May so think I’ve done extremely well to avoid having to go onto BP medication until now! I’ve been prescribed Indapamide & been told to have bloods redone in 2 weeks time to make sure it hasn’t affected my kidneys. ✌️It doesn’t as my kidney function is currently fine. My cholesterol

Hypothyroidism & statins
My GP is pressurising me to take a statin. My cholesterol levels are all within range. I do have P-Afib treated with Verapamil & take a blood pressure tablet. I notice that Hypothyroidism and statins on the NHS website are not advised. Appreciate any comments, research etc. Thank you! Here is the link

Statins for paroxysmal Atrial Fibulation?
Hello Everyone. I have P-Afib which is well managed with Verapamil 120mcg. I take Ramiprimil 5mg and Apixaban. I'm lucky my Afib has remained mild once on this treatment for the last two /three years - hopefully will stay that way- providing I keep taking Verapamil. I get the odd flutter for a few seconds

2 1/2 year update and Rheumy consultation
To save you delving into my history too much here is a recap and update. I was diagnosed June 2020 and started on 15mg Pred. In 2021 I got down to about 8/7mg but a flare pushed me up again. I tried again a while later but the pain got bad and last summer I went back to 15mg. I was half way through

Statins & Steroids
I’ve been advised to take statins due to high cholesterol levels of 7.0, Serum triglycerides 2.3, HDL 2.5, HDL ratio 2.8, LDL 3.4, non HDL 4.5. I’m reluctant to take more meds but I’m unclear of the meaning of all the results and if I should take statins or not. I’ve read some articles stating that

good blood test results
I was dreading these last blood tests as I’d been not feeling 100% of late for no particular reason. However: I was over the moon to learn that my bloods were ‘normal’. Kidney function even better: sodium going in the right direction and ferritin serum level significantly improved. just one fly
