š Hi Everyone, this will probably seem like a 1st world problem to most people on this forum, I'm sure but I wonder if anyone else has lost a little sleep š“ over my current dilemma? I had Bypass surgery late September 2022. This was purely precautionary following my diagnosis of a severe stenosis

Constant oral thrush on Fostair
I am constantly struggling with oral thrush on the roof of my mouth and now painfully in my throat. I take 2 puffs morning / 2 puffs night Fostair. I use a spacer, brush my teeth, rinse my mouth and it still keeps happening. Usually Nystatin works but this time (after finishing antibiotics) itās not

It Is NOT just Prednisolone
I have just posted this on another thread. How our bodies and muscles in particular, react to this drug is critical to the way we need to address dosage and approach. Here is my take on how this condition moulds us and progresses. Confusing symptoms occur and they are similar to many conditions so

genetics and cholesterol. Statins
your body produces cholesterol with the levels very much affected by your genetics. I did everything possible to bring mine down and it barely budged. Your decision but Iām on statins and take Coenzyme Q10 supplements as statins affect their levels. Afib doesnāt give you high cholesterol.

Afib and cholesterol
Have any of you been put on statins just because you have Afib ? As you all know I had my ablation last November and recently had my bloods done and my cholesterol was 5.7 so I was told by the doctors receptionist that I have two choices I either book an appointment to see the nurse about it or I can

Statins
Hi, Iāve just had my results from a health check I have raised cholesterol, the Dr is suggesting I go on Statin tablets. I am taking 1100 mg of Gabapentin, any advice please.

Getting circumcised after 7 months of battling with constant Balanitis
I got Balanitis from seemingly nowhere 7 months ago. As soon as I realized something felt off down there I took a trip to the Dr, believing that it would be a relatively easy fix. I was prescribed Clotrimazole, I was so relieved on the way home, thankful for modern medicine. If only Iād known how premature

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

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
