High cholesterol
My last blood test results showed that my cholesterol is high and that I should go to GP to be put on medication for this. I went to pharmacy today where they do an on the spot test for total cholesterol and it came back at 237 which is 30 higher than last test I had there. My understanding is that

FH and diet
Hi I have high cholesterol 8.7 but with a Qrisk of 5, good HDL, tri, BP, BMI etc. The GP says most likely FH. Has anyone on this forum with FH managed to reduce their levels significantly without statins? Thank you

Request to see an EP
Having met some resistance from my GP re my request for repeat visit to Cardiology "ablation not without risk you know" I went back after taking myself off Adizem (bad reaction) to have another go at him. I was surprised that a much younger GP was taking his surgery; he seemed to be much more clued up

Thank you NHS - a bit of an essay.
At the end of November I finally asked my doctor (I was long term GP averse - over 10 years) if I could have something done about my knee, which was locking several times a day and making many days complete right-offs re-walking, even round the house. By January I'd had an MRI and an operation booked
