Private cholesterol test
Has anyone tried the private cholesterol tests? If so which would you recommend? I had my bypass in September last year and am on 40mg statins daily. I just want to know what's going on inside me, I haven't had my cholesterol checked since way back when. I'm surprised they don't do it regularly. Thanks

Covid testing on high risk persons.
I take a plethora of drugs including Statins, bp control, metformin. I have type 2 diabetes, a pacemaker fitted and have had sepsis 3 times in the last 24 months. Have ANY tests been done on the Covid 19 vaccine on people with similar conditions, and what was the outcome? To have the jab, or to brave
