Hi, I’ve been told that I should go on statins to lower my Ldl cholesterol & was told that it would higher my blood pressure (as its quite low) But I’ve never heard of that before, has anyone any experience of this.

Lupus/APS and cod liver oil
Hi, I'm 49, and have lupus with antiphospholipid syndrome. I'm currently on lifelong warfarin, statins, vit D, hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate injections. The inflammatory arthritis is very painful, would cod liver oil be safe to take with anticoagulants? I think the oil would help with the inflammation

I have been treated with RLS drugs for at least 10 years & have been through most of them including the various

My Post PVI ablation horrors take a turn for the better!
I’ve read so many experiences that people have kindly shared with the community of fellow sufferers that I felt compelled to share my own, and hope that it is of some help to anybody who has PAF and wondering about undergoing an ablation or maybe if you are recovering from one! I’m a pretty fit 61 year

Angina, always normal cholesterol - hereditary
Diagnosed with heart disease in January and after initial denial and shock now trying to answer questions. I have read that 25% of people with heart disease have no aggravating lifestyle choices and I count myself in that group. Docs have put me on statin, GTN and Monomil and I can now walk the 1/2 mile

Blurred Vision/Atorvastatin?
I have been noticing an intermittent problem with my vision over the past few weeks, maybe a bit longer. In mainly one eye I sometimes get blurred vision, sometimes it is almost like there is a little cloud over the word I am looking at, with the surrounding ones clearer although still a bit blurred,
