I had a HA 4 weeks ago and had 2 stents in same artery. My best Friend also had a HA 10 days before me and had 2 stents put in aswell. I sometimes get dull aches in my left arm when resting(no chest pain). My Friend says he gets the same thing.This doesn't happen when I exercise. I walk around an hour

Statins and muscle pain or weakness.
If this is true and my time on statins..has supported this..my question is...Isnt the heart a muscle? Wouldn't statins cause problems with the heart muscle as well ? If it affects the muscles in other areas of your body?

Over-the-Counter Adrenal Supplements: More Than Meets the Eye
A short paper reflecting on OTC Adrenal Supplements. I very much agree that proper labelling and, in so far as practicable, accurate description and assay, are highly desirable. [i]

Atorvastatin and anxiety update
Hi, I posted three months ago about having symptoms of anxiety and depression (excessive sweating, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, weight loss, bad dreams, restlessness at night) that I thought might be linked to Atorvastatin. I had been switched from Simvastatin (which I don't think caused any side effects

To take Ramipril - or not - that is the question?
Hi All, I'm fairly new but must say that I'm impressed with this forum. It seems like almost everyone on here is constructive and supportive and it's a brilliant place to visit when your health issues get you a little down. Last July (at age 55) I went in for an angiogram after having some strange

Alternatives to Aspirin ?
What are the alternatives to aspirin? I have been on 75mg dispersable aspirin for the last 3 years after a HA, but over the last couple of months I have been experiencing stomach pains and cramps and general abdominal discomfort. My GP has prescribed Omerprazole but it has not helped! I am also on Ezitimibe

The Challenge of Finding the 'Best' Diet - Vegan or .... ??
Hello Everyone I know this is a perennial question and there is SO much (often contradictory) info out there on the Net - from both more and less 'reputable' (scientific and unscientific) sources - but I am trying to figure out what might be the better of choices into the future. I saw this video on

Statins
I would appreciate any comments from you all on the pros and cons of statins. I am 5 years post op, 67 years old and have made a reasonable recovery. I recently had a blood test which showed my healthy cholesterol at 2.51 and my ‘bad’ cholesterol at 4.3. My Q risk is 13.5%. These numbers mean nothing

PCa survival among statin users after prostatectomy
New Finnish study below. "Statin use among surgically treated PCa patients has significant association with decreased risk of starting ADT and PCa death. The risk is lowered especially among men with statin use before PCa diagnosis and in men who used statins at high-dose." -Patrick https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Hi guys, first I got my results back today from my MRI scan of my head. It said everything was fine, fantastic but doesn’t help the scream I put up with day in day out. Anyway I know this might sound daft but I’ve been doing a little experiment with my four tablets I’m taking for blood pressure and so
