Does anyone know why, when one is diagnosed with hypertension, they start you off on a very low dose,
not expecting it to do too much? I've been started on Ramipril 1.5 with HBP [at last count] of 200/101, been told that it won't have much effect and to come again in a month. Why do they do this?

High Cholesterol & Thyroid?
Even if I say so, I eat healthily, drink only when at a social event - 1-2 times a month as I have no head for alcohol but on & off I suddenly have my cholesterol in the higher numbers. My GP tells me it is linked to my Hypothyroid problem. I try to use food to combat the cholesterol problem rather than

hypertension & hypothyroidisum medication
Waiting for test results for hypothyroidisum as I haven't been officially diagnosed as yet, I'm currently taking 10mg Ramipril and 5mg of Felodipine for high blood pressure, would it be ok to take Levothyroxine too?

Carnitine 'Damages heart'
Over time, we have seen L-carnitine mentioned quite a number of times. As well as the more general issues of appropriate diets. Today a specific story relates why red meat might specifically be an issue - and the taking of L-carnitine, lecithin, choline or betaine supplements (see towards end of story

If you have Familial cholesterol, why dont you have a stroke or heart attack at a very young age?
If your born with this cholesterol problem, then i imagine your cholesterol would be high as a child, therefore applying the same or similar risk as a teen or adult.... Bear in mind the amount of crap a child can eat.....when i was a child it was breakfast of any cereal (eg frosties with full fat milk
