Ranexa reaction
I had consistent chest pain following discharge from hospital a few weeks ago and was prescribed Ranexa. I had been admitted with a second myocardial infarction that turned out to be a NSTEMI MINOCA. My first heart attack two years ago required stenting and i have been on statins, aspirin and ramipril

Amlodipine side effects
Hi Guys I have recently been prescribed Amlodipine for high blood pressure and the first prescription was for 5mg per day, that made no difference to my BP readings, I was then prescribed the same meds at 10mg per day, since taking 10mg per day my calves and lower legs become swollen in the afternoon

I have run out of feathers to spit!
I saw the GP today and we had a "discussion" on prescribing and testing T3. She has been forbidden by the health authority to prescribe or test, and i can only discuss this with an Endo. She agreed I knew a lot more than her, but even so regarded T3 as unnecessary and dangerous, and warned me I was

Advice on pausing statins
Hi folks, I've been doing well recently - changed cardiologist, had my meds reduced and excellent test results. All was looking good. Then I had to make a routine appointment with the cardiologist for a repeat prescription of Artorvastatin. I tried a few times to get an appointment but kept being told

Statins
I’ve been on atorvastatin for a long time. My cardiologist wants to switch to rosuvastatin for better cholesterol control. I’m aware of atorvastatin being one of those statins with potential for slowing advanced prostate cancer. Is rosuvastatin in that same category?

Bempedoic Acid
It has been suggested that I start taking Bempedoic acid (Nustendi) tablets in addition to Ezetimbe - (which I have been taking for years) - as I have Familial Hypercholesterolaemia and am unable to tolerate Statins. I am just awaiting results of blood tests before I start the drug. I have been made

Anyone prescribe Metformin for prostate cancer not for diabetes?
Hi, thank you for letting my husband and I join in… As I am trying to find information on how to deal with my husband’s sever plaque psoriasis, awful psoriasis flares after docetaxel chemotherapy infusion treatments and high glucose levels/numbers that seem to coincide with these extreme psoriasis flares

Research
is there any research into getting rid of plaques in your arteries, I have a small one and was told to take statins, but they only slow progression and from what I can gather statins have been the only answer for 40 years!!!
