Atorvastatin side effects?
I keep getting horrible headaches, mostly at the back of my head. And I'm always so tired! Thing is, I have familial high cholesterol that nothing but statins will bring down. I'm very active and have a low cholesterol diet, but still aged 20 my cholesterol was 11 until I started the statins. So my doctor

Has anyone taken fish oils on prescription for high cholesterol?
Recent blood tests show my cholesterol to be over 8. The GP recommended I take statins to lower it but statins can have nasty side effects. Has anyone taken prescription fish oils to combat high cholesterol pr anything else that worked.

Cholesterol 7.5 and can't take medication.
My digestive system just won't cope with medication. My cholesterol is 7.5 and mostly the bad sort. The practice nurse says it is genetic and all I can do is eat lots of oily fish to build up the good cholesterol. I tried the fasting diet ( 500 calories 2 days a week). I only managed one day and don't

The Effect of Exercise on Cholesterol Levels
So after all the reregistrations and referrals (see my past blog posts), I finally reached the hospital lipid clinic about on time, a year after my last appointment at my previous clinic. I find hospitals profoundly irritating and badly-designed places and thanks in part to the confusing map they posted

Are Cholesterol lowering drinks, spread and milk any good?
My cholesterol level last October was 7.8 and the doctor wanted to put me on statins and aspirin (because of a slight amount of plaque on one artery) Since then I have been using cholesterol lowering Milk, Spread and Drink plus cutting down on fats and exercising more and last week at the pharmacy

Confused by cardiologists arguing over the role of cholesterol in causing cardiovascular disease?
Sometimes I feel very confused by some cardiologists debunking the role of cholesterol in cardiovascular disease. Just came across this well balanced and very informative article. http://wp.me/p2urWY-ow
