Statins
On the back of TheAwfulToad's post re Dwight Lundell, consider this: If you've had a heart attack and take statins for 5 years as a consequence, trusting you are doing the right thing, your extended lifespan would be considerable and worth putting up with the side effects up to and including rhabdomyolysis

Dietary interventions for heart disease
This is one of the most extraordinary videos about heart disease I've seen, and I thought it might be of general interest. Dr Lundell is a retired heart surgeon who became distressed by seeing people traipse through his operating theatre with the same old problems, and asked himself: why is this happening

Diet tips
Hi, I’m after some basic advice (getting an appointment with my GP is like waiting for summer). I’ve just found out that my cholesterol is 12.4, was told it should be 8.4. I’m a 65 year old female, I eat a healthy, low fat diet & weigh 9 stones. I’ve been been informed that it must be hereditary &

My cholesterol results
Thought I would post my results on here too after putting them on BHF probably by mistake. I was put on 40mg statins in may 2018 after the shock of a 99%blockage in my LAD and the usual stent procedure that then followed. I disagreed with taking statins and dropped my cholesterol from 5.2 to 4.3 with

Crazy beat.
Hi all, Im sat having a cuppa, nice and chilled and my heart suddenly started to Labour. You can see it bumping through my clothes. Is this usual? I’m feeling fine if a bit lethargic. It goes as fast as it came on? I’m have Paroxysm AF. I’m on statins, pradaxa and 10 mg of bisoprolol. All the meds suit

Oat Beta-Glucans with APS
Hi all, My cholesterol level is slightly raised and I’m keen to see if I can reduce it without the need for statins through a few key healthy diet modifications and regular exercise, as well as the gentle introduction of the some cholesterol reducing foods, and regular INR monitoring. I wondered if

Not sure if my recent attacks of these blighters is anything to do with my stents and medication? I did use to get them before, but not this bad.....maybe it is just bad luck, has anyone else had problems after heart procedures or being on meds? I am now only on blood thinners and statins.

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?

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.
