Getting slight breathlessness when walking.
For a long time I had a med/light pain in the sternum area when I stride out which passes as I continue. Sort of warming up my thought on it. I get ectopics but only about 1000 a day ish but manageable. I have mild ischaemia. Recently when just walking normally I had a breathlessness thing. It only lasted

STATINS
I know that several people take statins. I thought you may be interested in New European Guidelines which ‘Drastically’ reduce statin eligibility. In fact they essentially “eliminate a statin indication in women.” https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/976715?src=wnl_tp10n_220825_mscpedit&uac=312914HR

high T4, Normal TSH, lowish total T3, rising Lipoprotein(a)
Hi, I asked a similar question some time ago and I believe the consensus was that I'm not converting T4 well. So I'm here probably to express frustration.... My endocrinologist won't test free T3 for some reason. I went to a gp recently because I'm losing weight. He tested among other things, T4,
