Cholesterol readings
This is my latest
cholesterol
test
readings. I knw that the total
cholesterol
level is high (as it tells me) but my diet is not bad (exercise level lowish though due to PMR) but are there any/enough mitigating factors? Due to see GP in about 3 weeks.

High Cholesterol
A recent
cholesterol
test
came back with a total
cholesterol
reading of 5.1. A previous cholesterol reading taken a couple of years ago of 5.2 was deemed to be OK by a specialist NHS cardiac nurse.

Premature cardiac risk
The link below will offer more information so that some readers are prepared to ask for this
test
when they have their traditional
cholesterol
check up. It is inexpensive to add the
test
into the regular
cholesterol
test

should I start interferon?
I was put on statins four/ five months ago because of a slightly raised
cholesterol
test
. Since starting it I’ve noticed some strange joint issues, particularly in my fingers. They are sore and I have the symptoms of ‘trigger finger’ in my index finger of both hands.

PBC and Cholesterol
My total cholesterol level has shot up to 6.39. My internist wants me on a statin (Atorvastatin) with it's many negative side effects. I've been researching other cholesterol lowering medication options and many sites (including the Mayo Clinic) list bile acid sequestrants - including Cholestyramine
