Blood Pressure medication
I have been suffering from high blood pressure for several years and treated successfully with 50 mg of Losartan. A few months ago my BP was low so the doc took me off them. It has risen since then so I started taking the Losartan again but found that it was now making me breathless so I stopped again

Shake Weight took my Statin muscle pains away.
I went from Simviatatin, to Crestor, to Lipitor for 2+ years, depending on what my insurance is willing to pay for. Then 8 months ago my doctor changed to Atorvistatin. I started experiencing shoulder pain and memory loss. If not for a pharmist who warned me of the serious side effects of statins, I

Would you believe Shake Weight to away my shoulder pain from statins?
I went from Simviatatin, to Crestor, to Lipitor for 2+ years. Depending on my insurance. Then my doctor changed to Atorvistatin. If not for a pharmist who warned me of the serious side effects. I would have continued to suffer in silence. I started experiencing shoulder pain and memory loss. After stopping

Want to Know Your Risk of a Heart Attack? Get this test.
The way the medical establishment assess risk of CVD or a potential heart attack or stroke is antiquated. They use levels of LDL-C cholesterol as their primary indicator along with a probability ranking based on risk factors like smoking. There are blood tests that can shed more light on your current

ACs and Brain Bleed
I've been doing research on ACs and the risks and I can't fully understand why there is a risk of a cerebral haemorrhage taking them. Your blood is in a state where it doesn't coagulate as well but why would that cause a haemorrhage? Nothing I've found seems to explain it. I'm left with the theory that

LDL-C or apoB as the Best Target for Reducing Coronary Heart Disease
I was reading a medical study on treatment targets and found this fascinating insight: "Conclusion & Future Perspective It is usually argued that the introduction of apoB as a marker of risk and target of therapy would lead to confusion of both physicians and patients. For more than two decades, a great

Is cholesterol a myth?
I've been told it's a big myth cholesterol causes heart attacks but I can't see that's true as my uncle at 51, slim and non smoker had a massive heart attack due to high cholesterol. His level was about 7. My levels were tested a year ago. My hdl was 1.6, ldl 3.4 and triglycerides were 3.0. Total 6.9

Cholesterol-Busting Super-Soup
Preparing good-tasting, healthy meals is an ongoing challenge whether you're on a plant-based diet or not. Most people have read and learned about some of the 'super-foods' that are high in anti-oxidants and fibre that will lower bad cholesterol as it is found in LDL-C and ApoB. Some of these foods

Levo initial side effects help.
Hi, after finally being prescribed levothyroxine, I started on Sunday on 25micrograms, due to increase to 50 after one week. So I am on day 4, and have been feeling 'wired' since day 2. Racing heart, hyper, shaky and raised blood pressure. I have been feeling much clearer headed since taking it,

Fistula - what are you're experiences?
I am a 68 year old female with kidney function now at 13-14 and my doctor has said that now is the time to take me off the suspended transplant list and also put me forward for a fistula. I am quite concerned about how a fistula will look and affect me. Can anyone tell me their experience of this
