Taking Calcium supplement when on Calcium Channel Blockers
this might be totally wrong but I’m thinking I shouldn’t be taking calcium supplement if on calcium channel blockers (verapamil). Can anyone confirm this?

Proximal Circumflex PCI
I posted recently about a Cardac stress MRI scan I was having and received lots of encouraging messages from this group so I wanted to share the results from this scan and the treatment I am having .

After Pluvicto #6 results
Finished my 6th and final Pluvicto and am now getting lab results. I see that somehow I neglected to put results after #5 -- may have been distracted by doctors freaking out that my kidney function was going down and my calcium shot up. My nuclear medicine doc made a judgement call to give me a full

Low statin dose increased lipoprotein a significantly
I have elevated lipoprotein a [lp(a)] and elevated cholesterol levels, am 70 years old and have a coronary artery calcium [CAC] score of 0 (or did before I started statins a short while ago). I just learned about the lp(a) level around 18 months ago. I started a 5 mg dose of simvastatin 15 months

New to CAD
I’m 48 years old and just recently had a calcium score done. It’s came back as 312. My cardiologist put me on a statin and told me to take a low dose aspirin 81 mg every day. I was also advised to change my diet and get more cardio exercise. I have changed my diet completely and started riding an exercise

Is my 7 year old son hypothyroid?
My son is 7 years old and he doesn't seem to be growing enough, at least in the last year or so. I am suspecting he could be Hypothyroid because of my genes (Hashimoto's and Type 1 diabetes), so we did some blood work: hGH - 0,27 ng/mL (0,05 - 11,00) IGF-I - 74,93 ng/mL (18,00 - 307,00) TSH - 3,574

Calcium and D3 supplementation decreases cancer risk and increases CVD risk
Full access to this article is behind a pay wall. Nevertheless the reduced article might be interesting for those who take those supplements. Unfortunately it is not quite clear (to me) whether it is the combination or the calcium by itself that has these consequences and what role the D3 plays in either

On Nutrition & Exercise
Excellent Zoe Pod Cast/YouTube with Prof Cyrus Cooper & Prof Tim Spectre on explanation of osteoporosis and latest thinking on nutrition, exercise and treatments. It’s a long one but worth the listen and thoughts on latest research studies - may surprise many - especially on VitD/Calcium supplementation

Coronary calcium channel score
Is statin prescribing linked to Coronary Calcium score? In late 60's my recent Angiogram was fine but had a CCS score of 25. From what I've read, Statins do not eliminate existing plaque, but stop it getting worse. Always ate healthy, since a child being faddy, cut off every bit fat from meat, wouldn'teat

Does anybody get severe cramps; legs,pectoral and feet?
I have been on Ibrance for nearly 6 years. I feel I am doing well overall but I get very painful muscle cramps. I have experimented with Magnesium Oxide, Glycinate/Hylands Leg Cramps/Curcumin/Tonic water/Calcium and Potasium. The only thing that helps is drinking magnesium citrate power in water during
