Hi I have a cardiologist appointment next month at last. My symptoms are daily ☹️ I get pain in my chest and surrounding area mostly at rest, it goes in to my neck, jaw, and down my left arm. I use my GTN spray it helps ease the discomfort. Tightness, heaviness, pain and occasionally I get a few sharp

I am 60. I have high cholesterol. This BHF 12 week 'course' has REALLY helped me. TRY IT.
The doc said it was time for statins. I wanted to try everything else first. He put me onto the BHF plan. I've lost a stone in 4 weeks. No calorie counting (I just couldn't seem to get into My Fitness Pal this time, even though I lost 4 stones using it a few years ago!). I saw a tee shirt recently that

Lipid Clinic scaremongering/borderline intimidation?
Hi all, i am new here although have been looking at all the posts on the forum and do have my own opinions on the diet/heart - cholesterol/CVC . I had my general NHS check up at 47 years old, and my GP referred me to the lipid clinic, as he thought I had elevated levels of cholesterol (his words). After

Statins?
Hi. I have been prescribed the 4. statin Type and can‘t tolerate either. I am getting pains in my thighs and it makes walking difficult. I had a stroke 4 years ago due to AF. Statins are prescribed for cardiovascular problems. Am I right in thinking that the clot developed due to the hr irregularities

I had a bad fall on my right knee, over a year ago. Had it x-rayed but they said it's fine.
After x-ray, they said all good and I've had crutches, and braces etc. Since my GP put me on Statins, both legs and my knee have swollen beyond belief. I took myself off Statins and they went down but my knee is excruciating at times. I've had one steroid injection, which didn't seem to do much. Sometimes

Statins and exacerbation of dizziness/ fuzziness
Has anyone experienced exacerbation of their dizziness if/when they started taking Statins for high cholesterol? I have recently been diagnosed with PA and with hindsight think that the period of dizziness and falling I had when I started Statins last year may have had something to do with my undiagnosed

Long Term Balanitis
A few months ago, I was put onto an antibiotic(doxycycline) for my acne by my dermatologist. While on it I noticed changes in my penis such as tender/sore foreskin, redness and raised bumps all over the glans and splotches of very red areas on the top of my penis shaft(still covered by my foreskin) that

Cholesterol
I had a massive stroke in 2009 and then two heart attacks in 2013 and 2014. I was put onto statins. Three years ago the statin I was taking was changed by my doctor. He prescribed Ezetrol. Unfortunately my medical aid would not pay for this medicine and so over and above my monthly medical aid contribution

In a bad way again
I'm feeling really bad again the last few weeks. I'm extremely tired all of the time. I have B12 every week and it was working well, but just seemed to get really bad again for no reason. I have increased my injections and am taking iron, folic acid and vitamin D. Nothing seems to be working. I feel

Should I get on the statins conveyor belt
Following a blood test at my doctors they came up with a score of 15% as the likelihood of me having a heart attack etc in the next 10 years. I've looked at the test and it scoring mechanism and it seems very rough and ready to me. Also, it doesn't fit with the way I feel. I am a healthy 66 man who runs

Does being allergic to antibiotics act as a precursor to GCA ?

Statins
Good morning good people. Iv been bothered for last 6 months with what I assume is arthritis in right knee. It has become unbearable and whilst researching more info I found out statins can cause joint pain. I knew they caused muscle pain and probably did know this but didn’t associate it with mine.
