Flecainide or statins?
I have been on flecainide 50 mg twice a day since my ablation in August and I also take Simvastatin, Bisopropol , levothyroxine and apixaban. For a few weeks now I have been having aching and painful joints- especially my fingers and hips, and numbness and tingling in my arm and leg- had blood tests

To statin, or not to statin...creatine kinase and lp/a levels normal
Hi all, I'm after a little bit of advice/guidance. I am a 39 yr old female who has recently been diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia. For those who are not aware, this is a disorder which causes high cholesterol levels due to a genetic mutation and means the body cannot remove 'bad' cholesterol

New heart treatment is biggest breakthrough since statins, scientists say
Lots to discuss and argue - and I await Dr Malcolm Kendrick's reaction! After all, he has been going on about inflammation in depth and for a long time! I commend this paragraph in particular: [i]“For the first time, we’ve been able to definitively show that lowering inflammation independent of cholesterol

Coronary artery spasm?

Statin withdrawal
I have had to stop statins which I have taken for about 10 years now because of severe leg cramping during the night. The withdrawal symptoms are painful but not excruciating pain like cramping. I have added Collagen supplements very recently and have ordered some CoQ10 for help.

Statins
Hi, my GP said it is very important for me to take statins. I have tried 3 different brands of statins and with all I get pain in my thighs when walking. My pace has slowed down gradually since having AF. I miss going on a brisk walk. I don’t know if this is AF related or from taking statins. I have

Unblocking Mild Atherosclerosis with Meds
Hi, following a second Angiogram two weeks ago, my Cardiologist told me that there were two further Arteries with 'mild' Atherosclerosis and would be treated with medication (I had two other Arteries Stented earlier in June). I was prescribed Isosorbide Mononitrate for my Angina issues but nothing new

Neurological issues/underactive thyroid link?
Hi I've had a mixed year health-wise and overall a few bad years with wrong diagnosis and tests. To explain, I was diagnosed with cerebrovascular disease a year ago following an MRI. I refused to take statins or even aspirin (as I had a bad reaction to it). The neurologists revised this diagnosis to

underactive thyroid
I am on low dosage of levothyroxine and am now suffering from Baker's cyst. Not feeling too bad really but not sure about statins I was advised to take.

Why I want to research active microbiome therapies for Parkinsons
Why I think the microbiome is key (Stick with it – links to poo coming up…) Having been diagnosed with PD, and offered regular Sinemet therapy, I resolved to look for alternatives and hope for a cure. Dopamine – whilst central to PD and effectively the definition of the disease, appears to be only part

Reference ranges for blood levels versus symptoms
Why do Doctors dwell mostly on exact ranges for thyroid results and not symptoms ? My TSH is often raised but not enough for the G.P. I feel the cold, always tired, cholesterol of 8 despite excellent diet, low ferritin and family history of hypothyroid.. I had persistent headaches with low dose Thyroxin

If you ever have doubts...
If you ever have doubts about being vegan remember this: I had 4 CABGs before stents were in wide use, 1997. After years of medication for high blood pressure, I have been on a Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) diet since March and the evidence of my blood pressure (117/70), cholesterol (2.7) and pulse (

Taking Folic Acid and Vitamin D3 with Oatmeal ?
I have oatmeal (Porridge) in the morning for breakfast. I do this because I have high cholesterol and GP put me on statins but I don’t take statins because adjusting my diet and especially having Oatmeal works very well and lowers the cholesterol so I never take statins. So my question is Oatmeal absorbs

Rehabilitation
Hi I’m on my second week of rehab and it’s great! I was told 2 weeks ago I had unstable angina, so that was the reason I got a stent fitted as I had a nstemi. I am pleased to say my nurse told me today I no longer have unstable angina as I’m on medicine. I also got echocardiogram results and it showed
