High blood pressure, high cholesterol - Oops
Just moved house and a new doctor did the usual blood tests as a new patient. Together with blood pressure monitoring, I am now told I have high blood pressure and my cholesterol is extremely high. Tried statins 10 years ago, which made me look and feel like an old lady. Now I am trying again,

High cholesterol Hashimotos
My recent cholesterol result was 7.7 which is up from December last year when it was 6.7. My Endo confirmed that it’s high because of thyroid disease, my gp had previously said otherwise. My Mum had high cholesterol and took statins, she was never diagnosed with thyroid disease. I just don’t know what

Multiple auto-immune problems and do I have Hashimotos (or not)?
I finally got to see an Endocrinologist this week and it’s left me feeling more confused. She believes that I have sub clinical Hashimoto's disease and do not need treatment, beyond take selenium for 3 (or 6 months), as a one-off. She was a bit flaky as, in addition, to the selenium, she said I didn't

High cholesterol
Hi everyone, I’m new here! I am a slim 26 yr old so never thought I had to worry about my cholesterol just yet. However, I was called in to see my doctor because he was worried about how high my cholesterol was (I can’t remember the exact number). Heart problems run in my family and so I’m quite worried

Good afternoon, So for many years I've suffered a myriad of symptoms, I've always put them down to something else but in the last few months had had to take them more seriously and hence ordered tests via medichecks to try to either get reassurance nothing is wrong or get some evidence that a GP will

Cholesterol concerns
Hi, sorry if this is a repeat question or not supposed to be in here.... I'm 47 years old and quite healthy. Not overweight, and although I'm no athlete I do walk most days and cycle to work occasionally plus my 2 young kids keep me active. I don't look like your usual person who could be at risk of

Cholesterol increase on statins
I’m so confused and disheartened. Today I received a copy of my discharge from cardiac rehab and it shows a total cholesterol almost double to my reading post HA. My HDL has gone up a little but my LDL has more than doubled! How can this be? How can my levels be higher since starting statins, improving

Are My Numbers Horrible?
I was on statins 9 years ago and they caused debilitating muscle pains. When I switched doctors, my new doctor ordered a nuclear stress test, cardiac calcium test, c-reactive protein & NMR LipoProfile. Stress test was normal, cardiac calcium score was zero, c-reactive protein normal, but my NMR showed

Could anyone give me some advice please?
