Statins and general update!
Had a fasting blood test for high cholesterol (second - first test gave 7+ result) last week. Due to hand foot and mouth and terrible state of nails they added on blood tests for diet deficiencies. So. First fab report is that nail lady fixed my poorly nails and they feel amazing. I phoned for bloods

Oat Beta-Glucans with APS
The reason I ask is that Oats contain Beta-Glucans which has many health benefits including the reduction/
management
of
cholesterol
. A 60g portion of the cereal Oatibix contains about 1.7g of Beta-Glucans; I’ve been eating this every morning for many months without any issues.

I have some atheroma
I have had a CT angiogram recently and i have a narrowing of the right coronary artery at the beginning. In the left CA there was the appearance of a possible lesion in the mid left anterior descending but they thought this was artifactual and so not related to me (does this mean it was a screen fault

Good morning all. I'm on the waiting list for Mitral Valve Repair at Essex Cardiothoracic Centre having been diagnosed with severe M V Prolapse.

Cholesterol
Hi all, just got a cholesterol blood test result and I’m a little confused as to whether it’s bad or not. My HDL is 2.44 and my LDL is 3.5, is this a worrying result? Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

NHS Endo test results - all normal - thoughts please ...
Hi - I have finally been to see an NHS endocrinologist. It felt like something of a 'tick box exercise'. My GP agreed to the referral because I had a low serum cortisol result and because (whilst my TSH is 'normal') my FT4 is at the bottom of the scale and I've been pushing for investigation of a possible

Lipid panel says I reduced cholesterol from 320 to 171 in 6 weeks. Is that even possible?
My blood tests have always shown CHO on the high side but doctors have always told me not to worry about it because I was young (mid-30s) and otherwise healthy (175 lbs, 6 ft) and quite active, and my good CHO # was very high as well. But 6 weeks ago my Dr. was shocked to find that my CHO was ~325. He

Newbie with possible thyroid problems
Hello - I am new on this thyroid forum and a 70-year-old female. I have a question about my results and symptoms. I was in touch by email last October with a retired gp regarding my B12 as I thought I may need more frequent injections owing to symptoms (I am on monthly jabs) and was preparing to inject

Natural Ways to Lower Cholesterol
It seems that time and time again we get repeated concerned posters asking about Cholesterol levels. Maybe we should have one thread ie this one where you can post natural methods that you found promoted healthy cholesterol levels (whatever they may be). I will start the ball rolling, please add with

Cholesterol (natural help?)
Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to this site, but keen to ask a very old question, and I don't want to frighten my GP; Does ACV (apple cider vinegar) really help reduce cholesterol, and if so, would it clash regrettably with omeprazole as a daily intake? I have spent much time on the 'net and not managed
