Cholesterol unexpected increase
Had cholesterol checked in October and total was 3.2. Was checked again yesterday and it had increased to 4.5... completely shocked as despite Christmas nothing in my diet has changed in months. I take Atorvastatin 40mg daily and for past 12 months my cholesterol has been stable. My only thought was

Lipid test results on 10mg Rosuvastatin
Hi all, I had been waiting to get the results of my lipid test to see how the small dose of Rosuvastatin was getting on with helping my cholesterol levels . Got the results back yesterday and GP advises not to change dose at the moment. Interesting to see how my stats have changed from being on 80mg

New blood pressure drugs
Hi all I have had a lot of issues with BP meds currently on Felodipine 7.5mg and in general they are by far the best I have used. However I am an insomniac and Felodipine has definitely exacerbated this. No sleep at all last night. GP prescribed Mirtazapine to help but I only took half a dose and was

Statins
I get a three monthly blood test for iron overload but this week the doctor advised me to get a
cholesterol
blood
test
as well. All of my results for
cholesterol
were within the ranges but my doc advised that it’s recommended I go on statins as my Qrisk2 score was above 20%.

Decipher this cholesterol reading please
I know there are plenty of knowledgeable people reading these posts so can you decipher this please Chol 3.5 mmol/L, LDL , HDL 1.78 mmol/L,Chol:HDL ratio , Tri 0.51 mmol/L. I don’t understand this. I’m guessing my cholesterol reading is 3.5, but what are HDL and LDL readings individually?

Low statin dose increased lipoprotein a significantly
I have elevated lipoprotein a [lp(a)] and elevated cholesterol levels, am 70 years old and have a coronary artery calcium [CAC] score of 0 (or did before I started statins a short while ago). I just learned about the lp(a) level around 18 months ago. I started a 5 mg dose of simvastatin 15 months

BLOOD RESULTS - HELP PLEASE
GP didn't do a great job of translating. My learned friends can probably do much better: ESR 5.8 CRP 5.0 LDL 3.89 HDL 1.89 TC 6.3 (should the LDL and HDL not add up) Triglycerides 1.48 Glucose 5 My BP is controlled with meds. I do not want to go on a statin. She wants me on one. What do you all think

Huge increase in LDL
4 weeks ago stopped Rosuvastatin 10mg due to back muscles pain. The pains stopped. At that time my LDL was 1.4, HDL 1.4, Tg 1.1, ratio 1.8 and total cholesterol 3.3. Bloods were done exactly 4 weeks after stopping the statins and my LDL has shot up to 3.7! I had a shock. HDL is now 1.3, Tg1.3, ratio
