Alternate day statin medication
First, a brief history. I am 68 years young. I have been taking Amlodopine to treat hypertension for some years, my blood pressure, which I monitor at home remains at an acceptable level. Last June I experienced a 'pins and needles' sensation for 30 seconds or so down my left side in the midst of a blinding

My husband was changed from Simvastatin to Avorastatin...I have noticed a marked decline in his memory. Anyone else experienced this?

I have been taking citalopram, mefenamic acid and omeprazole but have now been prescribed clopidogrel and simvastatin after a recent TIA.
I understand omeprazole reduces the effectiveness of clpidogrel. Should I stop taking the omeprazole?

Fed up of being messed about by the NHS
About a year ago I had a couple of nasty skin infections so I went to the GP for antibiotics and she ran a comprehensive set of tests. As it was before christmas, I didn't bother ringing up for the results but went back because I still had a boil and saw a trainee GP who told me my cholesterol was 8.2

RLS has a secondary Symptom
Since my early teens ive always had what i described has fidgety feet and have never been able to sleep with my feet under the duvet...This was never a real issue, just something I lived with. In my late teens, early 20's this disease became a real nuisance and started to effect my hands. It was mentioned

Fenofibrate almost crippled me And I only took it for 18 days...........MOST pain left after stopping fenofibrate for 3 days, except left knee pain. This stuff should be outlawed.

Is it possible that Simvastatin 20mg taken daily for a year could now be causing terrible leg pains - so bad no painkillers help?

Anybody on statins who's got problems getting off to sleep
Was on simvastatin for 5 years after a TIA in my left eye. My artery was absolutely clear of clots so it wasn't clear why it had happened. My father died of a heart attack at 49 though and my siblings and I all have high blood pressure which I have now under control with amlodipine. Also lost 5 kg. GP

Another " is this normal" question.
After a few months of very little AF activity, I'm now having a bit of a rough time of it feeling quite ill a lot of the time, light headed and aching neck and shoulders but no noticeable heartbeat extra activity. Have been diagnosed AF/SVT for about a year now and am on 10mg Bisoprolol, 50mg Losartan

I started Simvastatin one month ago and have reacted positive to the cholesterollevels of LDL but have musclepain. I am not sure it is the
statin. The doctors seem to think it is a treatment of APS/Lupus. I also have warfarin. What is your opinion to this new drug? Thank you! Kerstin

Results from recent fasting blood test.
During a wellbeing examination 3 weeks ago by my gp, my tryglicerides and tc levels were found to be 54 and 14.4 respectively. I have an appointment with a specialist in 1 week. I feel a little let down by the lack of support from my gp, although I have a myriad of questions ready for my specialist.

Cholesterol and CKD oh the Joys!!!
We moved back in May and had to change our doctors. I was very apprehensive due to being at my previous surgery for years. I have not been feeling well the last couple of months off and on and after my sore throat episode and recent pompholyx, which has eased a little now on my feet, I thought hopefully

AF Symptoms?
I have recently started to experience pains in my neck and shoulders, with a little "stich like" niggle under my heart, along with feeling quite ill. Am on warfarin, bisoprolol, losartan and simvastatin. I have had a few good months up until now, really disappointed as had began to feel "normal" again

Rivaroxaban is not for me, or was it? Aches and pains getting very bad again after 3.5 days off Rivaroxaban.

Are commercial cholesterol testing kits/machines any use?
Hi, This is my first post. I have really benefited from reading all of your blogs and questions so far. I had a stent fitted 6 weeks ago due to a severe blockage in LAD coronary artery. Alongside all the other meds I need to take, I have tried Atorvastatin and Pravastatin (as well as Simvastatin previously
