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%.

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

Plant Sterols
Has anyone found taking plant sterols have reduced their high
cholesterol
? My fasting blood
test
shows my LDL is 3.94. Dr insisting I take Atorvastatin. I like to try alternatives first.

Polyunsaturated fats v saturated fats
I am so confused! I read on another site polyunsaturated fats are bad for people with hypothyroidism and saturated fats are recommended. I tend to follow the Mediterranean way of eating more for heart health and keep slim. This includes oily fish , avocados and nuts which are PUFAs. My GP wanted me

statin side effects
Hi all. After advice from the pharmacist I have stopped taking Rosuvastatin 10mg for a week as to see if my upper back pain would ease. I have been having pain, getting increasingly worse, since November last year. And guess what - my back pain has improved dramatically over the past week with no pain

Help with understanding these results
I’ve been reading these posts with great interest, especially after receiving my thyroid test results from a private blood test in December. I’ve been feeling “less myself” for quite a while, and have recently been experiencing what I’d describe as frequent warm flushes, especially on waking, rather

pre diabetes
I asked GP surgery for
cholesterol
blood
test
to see if it had gone down further and particularly if bad cholesterol had gone down. However on looking at NHS app for results, nothing about cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol prevention Lequio Inqlisiran offered by GP
Few weeks ago, after my last blood test, I have received a letter from my GP surgery that my cholesterol level was slightly raised (I have diabetes type 2, which so far has been successfully controlled for years, by healthy diet). I have Atrial Fibrilation and pacemaker fitted, and therefore I know

She had bever heard

Statins with BAM
After a recent blood
test
that shows I have high
cholesterol
my doctor has prescribed statins. Without even talking to me! However I have read that people with BAM cannot tolerate statins. Anyone out there had a similar problem,?.

Ruxolitinib & raised cholesterol
I have been on Ruxolitinib for nearly 9 years now managing my primary myelofibrosis. I have been advised today that I now have a very high cholesterol level of 9.4. We went through my family history and diet but it seems that Rux seems to be the main contributory factor. The sheet does say this is

update
I think I'm going to take matters even more into my own hands, increase to 50mg and go for my requested repeat blood
test
( for
CHOLESTEROL
- they are somewhat blinkered) in 2 weeks. See what that shows and then discuss!!! Any thoughts or input always welcomed.
