Trimetazidine
Hi all - had two stents fitted in one artery three days ago. I've posted a couple of times already. Had this procedure in what is regarded as the best heart hospital in China - Zhongshan Hospital Shanghai, linked to Fudan University. They have sent me home with the usual drugs of Clopidogrel and aspirin

Can Plant Sterols/ Stanols trigger epilepsy? (The daily consume cholesterol lowering yogurt drinks..)
Hi I’m 57 years old, non smoker, quite fit and strong – I visit the gym several times a week for past 30 years, healthy lifestyle, good diet, moderate alcohol consumption. 3 ½ years ago my doctor checked cholesterol test and said I was getting a bit high at 6.5 and I might “have to go on Statins”.

Abnormal liver function & statins
I am 9 weeks post HA & have had 2 consecutive blood tests showing significantly abnormal liver function, assumed to be caused by statins. I took a week off them & my GP reduced dose of atorvastatin from 80 mg to 20 mg but still abnormal & told by cardiac rehab to stop altogether pending further blood

Statins + Dipyridamole?
New cell study below [1]. Bottom-line: PCa resistance to statins can be blocked by Dipyridamole. Might be an important finding. Dipyridamole "is a medication that inhibits blood clot formation" [2]. (which in itself is useful for PCa) {[i]"Dipyridamole is used to dilate blood vessels in people with

Can heart meds cause kidney stones?
Woke up with lower back ache and what felt like uncomfortably full bladder. Escalated to 45’minutes of horrible back / stomach pain. Just subsiding now. Symptoms suggest an infection or kidney stones. I wondered if it could be bought on by my meds - statins, beta blockers etc. Anyone heard this

Cholesterol after statins 2.4
I was 6.3 when diagnosed with Angina (95% LAD block). Two stents inserted and medication. Hoping to get off the Beta Blockers as my hands are always freezing. I’ve cut out the really bad foods (daily biscuits / milk chocolate / McDonalds / fry ups) and dropped 12lbs (not the intent)’to 9stone 10lbs

I had two heart attacks several years ago, one caused by Cholesterol plaques and the other by Vasospasm. Because of my family history and my own high Cholesterol and high Triglyceride issues it was assumed that I had Familial hypercholesterolemia. I have been seeing a Consultant specialising in Cholesterol

Off Statins
I saw the Clinical Pharmacist today after a routine blood test ( I had also requested one) and I am "trialling" being off statins. @MikePollard: how will my diet affect the fasting blood test in a few months time See: https://healthunlocked.com/nhsweightloss/posts/private/140500308/am-i-eating-enough-calories

Atorvastatin
Hello I’m new to the community. I have been taking Atorvastatin for 6 months after being diagnosed with high cholesterol of 7.5 . I’ve noticed some side effects but most prominent is the feeling of nausea through various times of the day. Also had constipation and a general feeling of lethargy. Recently

Does L-tyrosine lower TSH and raise FT4 please?
After posting "Muscle Stiffness" on here 3 days ago, 5 people commented that my TSH was too-high normal and my FT4 too-low normal, and may help to explain why my muscles are still stiff despite stopping a short 12 week course of statins in April 17, 2 years ago. So, I would like to know if L-tyrosine

RLS and medications
I have severe RLS. I took Mirapex for 7 years but experienced augmentation. So, for the last 4 years, I have not taken anything. I had to retire early because of the lack of sleep due to the RLS. I developed a yeast infection and was given nystatin which is an antifungal medication. My restless legs

Cholesterol - cause or correlation?
I am somewhat confused as to whether high cholesterol is a CAUSE (even The Main Cause) of atherosclerosis, or whether there is just a statistical correlation. The context for me is that I am advised to take statins but have chosen not to. Instead, I have tried very hard to optimise the diet and excercise

Another day of leg cramp in left calf
As posted before I'm having another day of intermittent calf pain in left leg. It's actually starting to worry me now! I've have severe sciatic for over 10years and I would often get left calf pain but would also have foot pain and obviously back and buttock pain that goes with my sciatica. But this

Statins & Active Surveillance
New study below. Of little relevance to us, but it's interesting that: "There was a 2% decrease in the odds of adverse pathology for each month of statin use among the men who progressed to radical prostatectomy while on active surveillance". -Patrick https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30996285 Prostate

The Doctor's (and Your Dilemma).
So, a few weeks ago I became an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration (PHC) and shortly afterwards presented an LCHF info pack to my GP. What response did I get back? Not even an acknowledgement despite me pointing to the success of Dr David Unwin and the monetary advantage for his practice

What's your ACTUAL risk of heart disease?
MikePollard recently posted a video on the LCHF forum that really deserves a wider audience, especially since we've had a lot of posts recently from people worried about their cholesterol. https://youtu.be/t8njzjSIybk It's possibly not the best video on the subject, but it's describing a test called
