Statin reducing HDL
I wonder if others have experienced a drop in HDL on statins ( in addition to tiny drop in LDL)? I was surprised as I thought taking a statin would only lower the LDL. I have only had 2 months supply of 10 mg over three months ( as stopped because of nightmares but that is better although getting up

Cholesterol and Statins
Just had results of Cholesterol test which is 6.2 (up from 4.8 three years ago and pre PMR). Started a low carb diet as soon as prescribed Prednisolone and it has certainly stopped me from gaining. Weight but has meant that I have had to add more fat to my diet for energy. I am guessing that this has

For cholesterol blood test or Calcium Score?
Please read this true interesting story. NHS still not doing Calcium score, private test can cost up to £ 150.00 pounds! "But he was alarmed to discover that, aged 42, his cholesterol levels were high, at 8.5 — with his level of ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol at 6.2. His GP advised that he start on statins immediately

Consequence of morning blood test and taking Levo night before
My TSH result is low at 0.02 as reference range is 0.3 to 4.8. I did not know I was having this blood test so took my usual daily dose of 125 MCG Levo the night before. Could this explain the out of range blood test result? How much extra Levo goes into the blood 12 hours after taking it? I usually

Understanding a British NHS Cholesterol test
I have the results of a Cholesterol test (British NHS). I was told it would include advanced lipid results, but it only has nothing like the info given in a test in the US. The numbers are also very different. Any help interpreting this, would be greatly appreciated.

How to bring cholesterol level down
I have been advised by my GP that because of my age now increasing my cholesterol is now on the higher side (5). They have suggested that I lower my level by diet. I do a Pilates class once a week, which is my main exercise, I use a wheelchair so it's not like I can go walking to help bring my weight
