Advice please
Good morning. I have joined here as I’m not sure what to do. Scenario, husband is 48 years old and disabled after suffering from pancreatitis several years ago. As a result he is type 1 diabetic and is medicated for high bp and is on statins along with other pain relieving meds. On Monday night and again

Week 9 Run 3!!! 🏆🏁🏅🏆🏁🏅😊
Some weeks ago I sat with this forum, and decided that I would start posting my progress. After watching the Olympics, and spending time chasing a crawling baby around the room, muttering “I’m too old for this” I decided that I would start the Couch to 5k. I don’t know why. I’ve never been interested

High cholesterol in family question
In my mums side of the family high cholesterol seems to be an issue. It’s not been confirmed that it’s FE but my uncle at the age of 51, slim, healthy, non-smoker and had a clean diet, had a massive heart attack. He passed away a few years ago at 66 due to heart failure. He was told it was caused by

Want to mange this thing!
I had catheter ablation for supraventricular Tachycardia in March and second one in June. Was told 2nd ablation would fix me, as the Electrophysiologist now knew what to do/where to ablate and would use special mapping equipment and higher powered catheters. He ablated SVT site and found a Flutter site

Statins
Have a telephone appointment tomorrow with my surgery. I’m sure they will suggest status as my cholesterol isn’t good. I’m not over weight. I eat really sensibly and I exercise . Like to hear from anyone on statins that has no problems before I commit to taking them

Medication after HA & CABGx4
After my CABG in Nov 2020, I had a HA in June due to blockage of bypass. Artery that was bypassed and blocked is 55-75% stenosis. On top of the statins and asperine as a result of the CABG, I am now also on isosorbide-5-mononitrate and ranolazine, but not on clopidogrel or other blood thinners. My

No stent extra meds
After having a cardiology angiogram last I was told then by the cardiologist that I would need a stent but he would speak to colleagues. Then I got a letter to say I’m staying on my meds plus statin’s and aspirin. My finding were “Access was via the right radial artery. Results showed mild ascending

Making Good Choices can Pay Off.
I've just received my latest battery of routine blood test results...all 18 of them!!.... and was very happy to see that every single result was within normal parameters and with 'no further action required' for any of them. This felt like a huge achievement, particularly as I'd recently stopped taking

Thank you to everyone who has sent me suggestions on travel insurance. I have managed to get full cover with Avanti including heart and CLL.

Palpitations
Been to the doc and had an ecg. All fine. But sending me to a cardiologist. She doesn’t think it was angina. Carry on with beta blockers and statins. Probably an ectopic beat plus palpitations. Had a thoroughly hood check. Fingers crossed all good at cardiologist.

Chemicals are medicine
Stress and sugar are the causes of inflammation in the arteries so reduce sugar properly so no simple sugar at all and try to reduce stress. This is your first option before “should I reduce or stop statins” Statins are a band aid don’t cure the problem where reducing sugar and stress WILL REDUCE INFLAMMATION
