Strange sensations
For months a have had sensation of swelling around neck and have had difficulty swallowing. I have had an endoscopy and all was clear except for silent reflux/ gerd and take 40 mg pantoprazol due to combination of meds. However in recent days the sensation is increasing. My whole face feels very tight

Just been given Ezetimibe 10mg
I am allergic to Statins so won't/can't take them. In fact other drugs always give me muscle problems even Finesteride damaged one of my Hamstrings. My figures are: HDL=1.27(-) LDL=3.5 5.5 overall, as baseline (I have not started Ez. yet). I am on Clopidogrel and take B12 supps 1000mg. Interested in

Potential cures for atherosclerosis
Hi all, I'm 54 years old and I had a triple bypass in 2002 , they became blocked up again 5 years ago so I had 4 stents in the one good artery to improve blood flow, I'll need another bypass in a few years, now got PAD in both legs ! I still work doing a heavy job in construction as it keeps my fitness

Taken the antivirals
I have completed the 5 days of antivirals started on Day 3 .Within 24 hours of starting the course my symptoms had improved and each day I fell better than the previous day. I had plenty of the symptoms listed on the ZOE app which had increased between Day 1 and Day3. Today apart from the cough I feel

Not taking Avorstatin for a week
Hi all, I’m on holiday from UK in North Carolina visiting my daughter. I’ve just realised I have not brought enough Statins with me and I’m here for another week. How bad is it to miss statins for a whole week after taking them for 15 years?

Statins and grapefruit juice?
I was under the impression that, if one is taking statins, as I am, grapefruit and grapefruit juice were to be avoided at all costs. Imagine, then, my surprise when I accidentally glanced at the pharmacy's label on the box when I was decanting my week's supply along with my other medications - I have

Taking statins with levothyroxine
I take a statin last thing at night and am thinking of taking my Levo tablet at the same time. Would that cause side effects?? Thanks.

What about those of us who genuinely cannot tolerate Statins
I would like to hear about people like myself who cannot
take Statins and been told by the hospital post triple bypass I cannot tolerate any of them. I am in my 3 rd year post op and wonder how long I have got. My blood test a few months ago said no further action needed . But then my cholesterol

Foods to avoid after heart attack and stent fitted
Hi there. Has anyone had any advice from the cardiac team about any foods to avoid? I'm on aspirin, clopidogrel, beta blockers, BP tablets and statins. I know to avoid grapefruit juice, and recently found out about avoiding cranberry juice as well. I've also read conflicting information about avoiding

Dry throat

I’ve not had any of the side effects listed on the info sheet with the tablets. However, I have had a very dry throat at night since starting the medication (Atorvastatin

Hello, new to the forum
Hi everyone, new member here. I've been reading a lot of posts on the forums, and it's good to know I'm not the only one having problems with medication after a heart attack and stent fitted. I've been prescribed aspirin, clopidogrel, beta blockers, blood pressure tablets and statins, and to be honest

New Data: Finasteride Safely Prevents Prostate Cancer'These Results Are Transformational,' Says Researcher May 20, 2018
But: "Who uses it today? Almost nobody." "We have answered the questions and closed the book." As reported in 2003, the risk for prostate cancer over the initial 7-year study period was 25% lower with finasteride than with placebo. That risk reduction now "goes out to 16 years, at least," (unlike ADT
