Haven’t posted here in a while. I don’t know how to ask my GP about starting a statin as a preventive or even if it’s right.
. So tomorrow I have a GP appointment in person I’m from the UK so this is rare😂. So I’m 22, man, quite overweight, don’t smoke, don’t drink. Known disease hypothyroidism which I know does increase Lp(a) level’s especially how high mines been. But anyhow I sufffer with symptoms that seem heart related

Cholesterol

HDL cholesterol confusion
Hi - I'm overall very fit and healthy and do a lot of exercise (12 hours a week). I eat very healthily and limit alcohol to 14 units a week. I've just been told my HDL is very high even though my LDL is normal range. I've been advised to take "lifestyle changes" to lower my HDL. I'm really confused

Advice on statins and vascular atheroma please
Story so far.... Had a recent hospitalisation in Cyprus for a problem unconnected to the thyroid (acute diverticular episode after 30 years of no major issues) which resulted in me having to have a CT scan when I returned from holiday. The scan was OK on the original issue, nothing sinister revealed

Fasting Insulin.
I have always relied on a reliable surrogate for insulin resistance: the ratio of triglycerides to
HDL
-
cholesterol
. 1:1 excellent; 3:1 something must be done. (My simplifications.)

Just started MTX yesterday
LDL
Cholesterol
is too high (as is
HDL
fortunately), however I hope that MTX can help me taper prednisolone OR even work for PMR symptoms.
