Statins
Reasonably active fit 70 year old not overweight, healthy diet, non drinker, all pipe work good according to Cardiologist. I did have valve repair 6 years ago. Every few months get odd runs of bi/trigeminy. Take 1.25 bisoprolol/day. GP wants me to take statins as Colestrol is 6. Why??

Hypothyroid and high cholesterol
Just a quick query, how long does it usually take before cholesterol levels start to fall following starting taking levothyroxine? I am only on 50 mcg of levothyroxine but due another increase in a few weeks, I was wondering if cholesterol would start to fall as soon as levo was commenced or would I

Advice & Guidance please
Dear friends of Thyroid UK, I would be very grateful once again for some advice and guidance I went to see my GP who spent 25 minutes with me discussing the results of my blood test very in depth listen to everything I had to say. I think this was helped by the fact that he had a newly qualified doctor

AFib better after stroke
I have contributed in the past to the forum, but this post is the first I have started. I have had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib) at least since the beginning of 2016. I doubt if I would have known, had I not checked my pulse, as there have never been any of the distressing symptoms that I keep

Anyone else tried Taureen. ( also: statins, any link to RLS)
It's used in energy drinks to stop the jitters so I've been trying it for the last month, 2 x 500mg capsules early evening and crawling feelings duration reduced drastically but not totally gone yet but getting more sleep than I have in years. Legs still very active in daytime but that may be habit

Hello I'm new here, I'm so worried. In April was getting slight pain in my chest when walking or standing up. I though it must be indigestion but antacid didn't seem too help. Anyway after 2 weeks of this i thought I better get checked, my ecg showed a incomplete right bundle branch block, I have had

Fortunately not aware of any side effects after two months of taking it. Now almost two months after my HA and stunting. Trying to implement lifestyle changes to reduce

Low Carb Diet May Shorten Life
Having been Type I Diabetic since childhood my ears pricked up when I heard this on the news his morning := https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-45195474 Because of my diabetes I have been carb counting for over half a century. Some consultants have had different ideas (mainly in the seventies) but these

Coronary Calcium Score test
I know that many people have never heard of this type of CT scan - I think this webpage https://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/coronary-calcium-scan#1 discusses well how this test can help some people in determining their future cardiac risk. I had extremely high cholesterol readings for 30 years and

Subtle reminder that I should be taking care of myself....
Went to the theatre to see a show.... The gentleman sat next to my husband asked him if he'd heard of lupus? And explained that he'd recently lost his wife (aged 68) who had lived with it for 40 years but suffered five strokes.... I've been eating rather a lot of my sons home baked cakes recently and

Re Meds & thank you
Hi folks, and many thanks to all of you who responded to my question re clopidogrel. After much pushing I got to see my long time GP - who is a star - and spent 25mins going through the problem, running tests etc., and this is what I learned: 1. Some of the dizziness (associated with sudden movement)

Moderate Stenosis
Hi, I have been advised that I have mild to moderate stenosis in the mid potion of the right coronary artery with a score of 43. My GP has been advised to treat me with aspirin and statins, as I am already on aspirin and statins after a blood clot scare in 2009 I don't want to take anymore tablets

The Best Measure of Cardiovascular Disease Risk
For the past 50 or so years, the medical community has psychologically conditioned their patients (and media) to focus their cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk-reduction strategies on lowering total cholesterol and more specifically LDL-C (lipoprotein cholesterol volume). Research done over the last 10

Beating the Odds
I have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease, stage 4 cirrhosis, and varicies. I had regular Blood panels done every three to four months because I take Statins so I was shocked to get this diagnosis out of the blue this spring to say the least. I have gone to a plant based diet, work out three times

Clodripogel experiences?
Hi all, Following my TIA my meds were changed do that aspirin was replaced by clodripogel, I was put on Atorvastatin and increased dosage of Lisinopril to minimize the risk of further strokes. Hydroxycarbamide stays unchanged at 9x500mg PW. All was ok for 3 weeks then I started getting severe dizziness
