Statin Dilemma
I am a 61 year old woman; I was diagnosed with high cholesterol two and a half years ago. I had that appointment at the Lipid Clinic, and was advised to start a small dose of Statins, Simvastatin. At that time I refused to take the statins and was left to be reviewed at a later date. I was told that

Nagging doctors.
I recently had my annual blood test to check cholesterol and thyroid hormones, and surprise, surprise, I`ve had a text from my gp`s surgery asking me to make an appointment to discuss the results. I know from experience what happens next. I`m going to be told that my cholesterol is too high and that

Post stent drugs
Hi I had a stent after a mild heart attack and was put on six drugs including statins at a level of 80, 2 blood thinners and a beta blocker and an aspirin. I stopped one blood thinner Rampiril because of the cough. I have been told that this bombing with drugs is normal. So far no side effects with the

medication can give you more problems
I am very concerned that not enough caution is given by doctors when prescribing medication with statins and blood pressure tablets in my case I have had a bad experience with raised GGT and have to keep insisting on blood tests to check if meds are having an effect and I worry how many people are medicated

High blood pressure, high cholesterol - Oops
Just moved house and a new doctor did the usual blood tests as a new patient. Together with blood pressure monitoring, I am now told I have high blood pressure and my cholesterol is extremely high. Tried statins 10 years ago, which made me look and feel like an old lady. Now I am trying again,

Old Subject re Statin use and PCa
I know there has been lots of discussion on the subject topic. In hopes of not beating a dead horse I recall those that claimed a hydrophilic (Crestor -rosuvastatin) had no positive benefit vs a lipophillic statin such as atorvastatin. However notable studies Contradict this notion, “Our results

High cholesterol Hashimotos
My recent cholesterol result was 7.7 which is up from December last year when it was 6.7. My Endo confirmed that it’s high because of thyroid disease, my gp had previously said otherwise. My Mum had high cholesterol and took statins, she was never diagnosed with thyroid disease. I just don’t know what

Update on statins
So my PCP asked about putting me on statins. Thank-you all for your help. I told her as long as they didn't work against my kidneys. She started me on Atorvastatin 10 mg per day. I've been taking it for about 10 days now but I don't know if I can handle it. I am sleepy all the time and my muscles hurt

Lipid clinic referral
Hi. Saw my cardiac nurse today she is concerned about my cholesterol as it's high at 7.2 she looked back over the last 5 years and it's never been this high before but it's also never been low despite taking statins. She is now arranging a referral to a lipid clinic. Could any one advise what happens

Hi, sorry if this is a repeat question or not supposed to be in here.... I'm 47 years old and quite healthy. Not overweight, and although I'm no athlete I do walk most days and cycle to work occasionally plus my 2 young kids keep me active. I don't look like your usual person who could be at risk of
