What are the latest NHS guidelines for home blood pressure monitoring?
I was told by my doctor to take it twice a day [I think she said random times, not sure on that] and take it twice/three times with a minute or two in between. Then choose the lowest number and to do this for a week, working out an average reading. NOW she says goalposts have changed and to take 2 readings

£650.00 health check on NHS?, cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure? Please read the health section on the copy of Sunday Mail.

I am taking PARMID XL a calcium channel blocker for raised blood pressure. It's made it worse. Is it because I have stage 1 CLL.

High cholesterol (8.2) What's the best action and how quickly can I expect to reduce it?
I'm male 52, living in France. Just been diagnosed with a cholesterol count of 8.18 ( trig 2.26, HDL 1.60, LDL 5.56).... Hardly surprising, I live in the mountains famed for their cheese and wine production..... Whilst I speak reasonable day to day French I find it difficult to really understand and

Hypothyroidism and high cholesterol
Hello everyone. I am after a bit of advice. I have just had my sons (13) full lipid results back and have been told his thyroid is raised. 5.64 (should be 1-5). Has anyone else been in this situation? After doing some quick research It seems an over active thyroid can increase LDL (his is 5.94, total

Diabetics should beware of infections
I thank Medfree for enquiring about my BS levels and medicines. It was about 6 months ago when I joined this Forum that I heard about LCHF diet strongly advocated by Mr. Anup Singh. I tried it and found it effective in maintaining normal BS levels. I was able to reduce my daily insulin from 15 units

Statins
My hypothesis on the merits of statin therapy is as follows:- Do statins reduce serum cholesterol? Is cholesterol instrumental in the clogging up of arteries? Do blocked arteries (atherosclerosis) lead to heart attacks/strokes? Having answered in the affirmative to all 3 questions, which people benefit
