high cholesterol
hi, I’m 32 and had a blood test recently and it has come back as me having a high cholesterol at 7.6. This has really scared me and since (3weeks ago) I’ve changed my diet and exercised even more than what I did before. I’ve lost 5 pounds in that time. I was active before hand and wouldn’t say I was

Blocked LAD and travel insurance
Hi all I am 61 and in 2017 I was diagnosed with a blocked LAD 50-60% not bad enough to stent but on medication. Statins, amlodipine and aspirin. I am looking at going to America next year and wondered which insurance company anyone could recommend. Also, how would you describe my condition - would

Worried after recent results of an angiogram
hi, I’ll be 50 in a few months, I’ve been on high BP medication for almost 20 years. Over the past few years I’ve been getting strange chest pains. I’ve had ECG’s in the past but nothing showed up. I had an angiogram done last week, the consultant wrote back to say I have a small ASD, small volume of

Which statin to take with Nubeqa/Darolutamide? Pitivastatin or a different statin?
I took someone's advice and called Bayer Corp today. What a waste of one hour. Minimum wage level 1 employee bumbling around trying to get me answers. I already read the entire product packet. It says that Crestor and Lipitor (and other statins) can accumulate and cause problems/side effects. Looks

I was just turned down by NHS endocrinologist. I have a plan but I do not want to waste any more time. I was hoping for a T3 prescription.
This was not unexpected by any means. My doctor was rather easily encouraged by me, to refer me. I saw a copy of most of his letter online and I was pretty much sure I was ‘set up’. A mention in the letter re: my refusal to take an increase in Levothyroxine. I don’t think I actually refused but I

6 month study for use of stent or placebo effect
just had angiography yesterday and have 1 completely blocked artery. Doc wants me to be part of six month study to see whether having a stent is better than just relying on meds I could have Stent or be part of placebo group obviously won't know until end of trial.. At the moment meds increased

What next after sarilumab?
Tocilizumab was a miserable failure and resulted in me having to take statins. I am about to start sarilumab and as this is a IL-6 med (whatever that means) I am worried that if I get the same side effects I will need to stop that too. Is there a medication that is routinely given after trying sarilumab

CRISPR EDIT OF PCSK9 = CURE ... Pt 2
CRISPR EDIT OF PCSK9 = CURE But what if, rather than trying to tackle PCSK9 directly, we just cut it off at the source? If we could introduce mutations to the PCSK9 gene similar to those found in the patients of the UT Southwestern researchers, it should be possible to replicate their resistance

all signs point to a near future where genetic diseases become entirely curable.

Life after a CABG at 34...what does the long road look like?
Hey guys, So I had 2x CABG back in Jan, I'm 34, BMI 23, no family history, no life style factors. Very long story short, they aren't really sure why my LAD and RCA were diseased/occuled... a bit of arteriosclerosis, a bit of vasculitis from a previous viral illness...just your average medical mystery

Statins and underactive thyroid
I've had an underactive thyroid after radioactive iodine treatment 20+ years ago. After a recent health check - no thyroid results - but cholesterol results are 'a cause for concern'. I'm seeing the nurse next week when I expect statins will be suggested. The results are Cholesterol 6.1mmol/l

Statins and PMR
hi all, previously asked if you could take statins with pred, perhaps would have been better to have asked, with PMR. Gp now prescribed Atorvastatin over phone, said no contra-indications with pred but did not ask why I was taking pred. I assumed he had checked my notes! Now one week in and both

Proof,it isn't all bad
Hi all, just thought I would share a couple of things. Firstly, you may know I don't take this post-bypass stuff too seriously, yes I eat fruit, salad and vegetables more, I have stopped putting salt in my cooking and I do exercise a lot. But I do eat bacon, pork, steak, peanuts, boiled

Rosuvastatin Issue
I know many of us use this statin. My doc just switch us to lipitor. "The investigators compared 152,101 new users of rosuvastatin and 795,799 new users of atorvastatin (both high-intensity statins used to treat high cholesterol) from the 2011-2019 Optum Labs Data Warehouse.
