Night-time palpitations ?
Has anybody suffered from night-time palpitations, or palpitations that are specific to trying to sleep or lying down. I have had this condition of about 4 years,every night without fail. I dont get them at any other time. I have seen 3 cardiologists and have had every test under the sun but still no

Anti-cholesterol jab twice a year could herald the end of statins amid hopes treatment will get NHS approval within 18 months
Taking statins every day to control cholesterol could soon become a thing of the past and be replaced instead by twice-yearly jabs. Spectacular results from trials of an injectable drug called inclisiran show that it can slash 'bad' LDL cholesterol levels by more than 50 per cent after just two weeks

Valerian Tablets with Heart Medication
Hi everyone, does anyone take valerian tablets to help with anxiety and sleeping? I've been researching it and I can't find anything that says it isn't safe with statins, bisoprolol, ramipril etc but I wondered if any of you had any knowledge/experience of it? Thank you :)

Alternative treatments for Busulfan
My wife was diagnosed with E.T. five and half years ago, she is 78 and lives in the UK. At the time, the main treatments were Hydroxycarbamide, followed by Anagrelide and Busulfan as a last resort. She was first treated with Hydrox but the side effects were severe and she was then treated with Anagrelide

Statins Do Not Cause Cognitive Decline
Negativity about statins seems to continue with a number of internet doctors(?) and their followers. Some good news though. New research shows that they cause neither cognitive decline or memory loss. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S073510971937799X?via=ihub

Looking for research on heart and suppressed TSH
I had a very stressful and combative cardiology appointment yesterday. A 24hr ECG back in May showed I’m having a load of ventricular ectopic beats (over 20,000 in a 24 hour period). Palpitations was one of the many hypothyroid symptoms I’d been having, I was feeling heart flutterings when sitting

Heart attack last week and feeling scared.
Hi all I haven't written a post in a while but have been reading all posts. I wrote a few months ago saying my cholesterol was 19.4 and docs were adamant that I needed statins which I refused to take. My levo was increased to 200mcgs and I started to feel much better. I tried to tell my doc that once

Microvascular Angina
Hello. I was diagnosed with MVA last May by a sympathetic cardiologist but in reality had it since 2007. I’m on a cocktail of ramipril, digitalizm, long lasting nitrates and statins. Lately my symptoms seem to have got worse, to the point that I’m frightened to go out the house in case I pass out. My

Dropping Statins ?
I have been on statins for around 15 yrs now but recently my doctor has suggested that I come off them for a 3 month trial, because Ive been getting some muscle pain and poor sleep patterns, my Cholesterol is within "normal limits". Has anybody else come off them after a long time, and how do you feel

Worried about Dad
Hello everyone, I am new to the group and need a bit of advice. My Dad is now 74 and takes statins due to a mild heart attack last year and had a stent put in. He asked me was there any vitamins he could take as his memory is starting to fail him. His older brother is also in a care home from last year

What do statins do?
I have read that statins lower cholesterol, but my chelosterol levels have never been high even before my HA 7 months ago, now it is dangerously low. I have heard that statins also reduce plaque, whilst presenving the all important hard cap, preventing a rupture and subsequent blood clot. Is this all

Statins - again 😀
Hi all. Recent test showed my LDL at 1.51. Cardiologist says it should be lower than 1.4. I guess that’s the level for those with established AHD? I’ve been taking 40mg of Atorvastatin for 7 months now. No HA but 2 stents after 80% blocked LAD. Heart now has almost normal blood flow according to the
