Statins
Hi. I am taking a statin for high cholesterol, around 200. It’s working, but I have terrible muscle/joint pain. Is anyone taking something other than a statin for high cholesterol? Are there many side effects? Appreciate any advice.

Can statins cause diarrhoea?
Following a heart attack in August 2021, I was prescribed Atorvastatin, Ramipril, Asprin, Clopidogrel, Bisoprolol and Lansoprazole. For almost 3 weeks now, I have been suffering from early morning diarrhoea, starting from about 6am. After about 3 bouts, it then stops and I have no more episodes for

Sensitive to medication
Since H/A sept 2020 had a myriad of problems with meds. I know I’m not alone. I can say that I felt better in Feb2021 than at any time since. I’ve had uncontrollable diarrhoea which nothing was done about until they discovered that not only was I allergic to Atorvastatin but Rosuvastatin was causing

microvascular angina and high cholesterol
Hi all So today I've been told I have to take statins as my cholesterol is high. Just another tablet to add to the heap. I have been compaining about complete exhaustion for a long time. It's getting worse rather than better. Is there any connection with this and high cholesterol? My diagnosis is Micro-vascular

Statins
Anybody on any sort of statins alternative? I've just been for a health check and the nurse said I should be on statins for my cholesterol , but would have to check with a GP as I have liver disease.. Quick Google says statins plus liver disease is a no no, so any alternatives out there? Tony

Non STEMI
I am new here, I had a non STEMI 2 months ago and was prescribed the most common medications, I.e. Ticegralor, Bisoprolol, Artovastatin and Aspirin. I was fortunate that the angiogram and subsequent ultrasound indicated there was no apparent damage to the heart muscle and I have recovered fully. No

Intermittent Claudication and Statin dosage
This forum has been extremely helpful to me in receiving advice on my condition. I am hoping some of you good folks can help me again. I am 80 years old and was diagnosed with PAD almost two years ago. In the past I was a competitive club cyclist. A sport I love. I am lucky and I continue to cycle

Statins to be avoided?
Could anyone please tell me which Statins are best avoided. I am currently taking Ramiprill 2.5mg once a day, having changed from one that I noticed was a definite no-no for restless leg suffers (sorry I can’t remember the name of them). I am now finding these appear to be making my legs much worse

Why do you need cholesterol?
This was copied from an email I got so don’t go shooting the messenger if you don’t agree :). “I have been trying for years, decades actually, to raise my cholesterol. Finally after a more significant (call it strict if you like) change in diet, it’s happening and that’s a good thing. You see, low cholesterol
