Side effects of Bempedoic Acid
I have high cholesterol and reacted badly to 2 statins so was given ezetimibe a year ago. This hasn't reduced the cholesterol enough so now started on Bempedoic acid in addition. I read it might also help improve fatty liver, which I also have. Feel very bloated and tired after 2 doses. Does anyone have

newly diagnosed with high cholesterol
I’ve just decided to take statins after poor cholesterol results - 7.1 overall, ‘bad’ around 4, always been against them but worried lifestyle/diet changes not enough. Think might have famial type as mother always had very high levels despite healthy diet. but brother won’t get tested!

Recently started low dose atorvastatin. I have seen journal articles showing it can make it worse, no affect and improve outcomes if started AFTER starting ADT. Opinions?

Am I imaging things?
Please feel free to say if you think I am imaging a problem that isn't there, I actually think my Doctors think I'm nuts. About 3 years ago I went to see the Dr because I was not my usual self, constantly tired, miserable, losing my hair and brain fog. I was told I was depressed and to take Vitamin

Rant!
I had possibly the worst GP appointment today in my life. His English was not good, combined with a lisp, it was virtually impossible to understand his questions. I finally sussed out that "blith" was blood. I had the results back from some blood work at a hospital (took 50 days to get the results

Can medication be reduced after a certain time with no problems?
In 2012 I had a heart attack which resulted in the insertion of a stent, fortunately prompt treatment meant there was no major damage to my heart, although I started getting AF attacks in 2016. In 2017 I started taking 100mg of Flecainide and this was successful in stopping my AF attacks. In 2020 I

The stress of not being able to tolerate Statins
The stress of not being able to take Statins. This subject comes up often as to whether I should be on Statins. Some people tolerate them well and I have friends who can. That’s fine. However for some of us who have been tried and tested on Statins and proved unable to take them it doesn’t exactly present

Do lower glucose levels slow the prostate cancer growth? 70-85 level better than 90-100 level? Continuous Glucose Monitor usage?
Anyone w/ avg fasting blood glucose in the 85-100 range, use a continuous glucose monitor to learn how to lower their levels to 70-85? Do men with average fasting blood glucose levels below 80 live longer than guys above 90? These are not diabetes or pre-diabetic figures but is it possible or likely
