Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (Inherited High Cholesterol) alias FH
Out of interest, for those who have been actually told they have FH, I thought it would be interesting to know what their cholesterol levels were before they were presumably prescribed medication. I found I had a natural cholesterol level of between 9 and 10 over 20 years ago and have been taking statins

Is it common to get chest pains with thyroid problems?
I saw a post today from someone who was having chest pain with their thyroid problem and was wondering if my pain could indicate I have the same. I have been in A&E today for the second time in 10 days with ongoing short, sharp pain on the left hand side of my chest with palpitations. Last week they

Cholesterol and hypothyroidism
I was wondering if there is any relationship between these, had mine checked they aren’t like really bad but my HDL is a bit low and my total cholesterol is a bit high. I don’t know, could be diet related also.

My brother told me a nurse has just diagnosed AF!
My email to him follows, thought it might help others in a similar position: 'From the beginning use it as a driver to improve overall health to avoid future issues. Good news that you are now aware of it, also that it does not stop you doing things (like it did me) Lifestyle changes will be very important

Niacin. Your thoughts?
I didn't find any hard evidence. Part of niacin converts into NAD+. I don't think that would be good. And the proven HDL increase doesn't seem to make much difference in actual cardiac risk (perhaps HDL is a marker and artificially changing it doesn't affect the root contributors to cardiac risk?).

Calcium scoring CT scan .. family related history
Hi all, New to the forum. I’m sure everyone here would rather not be, but from what I’ve read so far, it’s a great resource of reassurance, understanding and support, from the collective and varied experiences that everyone has had. So this is my story so far. I’m an above average fitness, healthy 54

Statins.
GP wants to start me on Rosuvastatin as my cholesterol level has risen (7.7) since starting my treatment on Decepeptyl and Xtandi. Was wondering if starting a statin would reduce the effects of my treatment on the prostate cancer itself. Many thanks in advance

The Role Of Bile Acids In Prostate Cancer
Bile acids (BAs) belong to cholesterol-derived sterols. Due to the side chain carboxyl group and hydroxylation of their steroid ring they are more polar than cholesterol. They have an amphipatic character for which they are known as natural detergents. Majority of cholesterol is excreted by bile acids

Should I stop Levothyroxine?
I'm thinking of stopping my Thyroid medication as I don't feel any better on it. Is it safe to stop taking Levothyroxine without reducing the quantity? I am still unable to get back to my weight of 57kgs. Currently, I weigh 60kgs, and I have to reduce my meals to breakfast and a light supper. I feel

Blood test results - please help!
So I had my bloods taken this week as I'm still struggling really bad with constipation and hair loss, as well as cold legs and feet. Here are my results. I think I need to up my iron, B12 and folate but if anyone can spot anything else that would be really helpful. My iron does look in range but i know

Baricitinib and highCholesterol levels
Hi All. Have just had some bloods done and they're showing an increase in LDL lipids and HDL lipids so overall total is 6.7. Interestingly, my level has increased since being on Baricitinib since 2019 and I suspect I’m going to have to go onto statins to counteract the effects of the drug! Nothing in
