Connection Between Hypothyroidism and High Cholesterol?
Although I have a good diet, and am not overweight, without meds my cholesterol is high. One GP tells me there is no connection between an underactive thyroid and high cholesterol, another says there is. Since April of this year I have been on Atorvastatin, until I read the leaflet which tells me

STRESSED ABOUT HIGH CHOLESTEROL
I was started to Simvastatin a number of years ago after diet changes did do anything to my levels. Simvastatin did not bring my levels down at all so was put on Lipitor 20mg but when my levels were still not coming down significantly it was combined with Ezetimibe 10mg. My levels came down from

Does anyone have any ideas they can offer as to when and how to discuss their child's liver disease with them?
My daughter has Biliary Atresia, portal hypertension with grade 3 oesophageal varies. Sophie is 3 years old and has a twin sister. With recent visits to KCH it seems she is headed for a transplant and I want to know if anyone has dealt with discussing these things with their child, if so how?

How effective is bezafibrate in controlling cholesterol?
I had to come off statins because of muscle pain, and wondered if others have used fibrates and how effective they were?

Lipid clinic visit
I go for my quarterly check up with my consultant on Thursday. Hopefully, my cholesterol will be down, as I have stuck rigidly to a low fat diet, done lots of walking and lost a stone in weight since the last visit. Will report back!

Have been told to take Stanol by consultant, not having much luck finding it. Anyone heard of it?
First lipid consultation yesterday has left me reeling! All too much too fast and would appreciate some perspective if anyone has any advice to offer. LDL 5.2, overall 7.3. Had to stop simvastatin, have a genetic muscle problem. Consultant changed blood pressure tablets, told me to stop eating practically

Possible side effects since moving on to generic atorvastatin - continue or stop taking meds?
Hi everyone. I only discovered Heart UK a few days ago, and have already received a wealth of useful diet information. I'd like some advise regarding (possibly) coming off statins, I'll try to keep this as short and to the point as possible! I'm 42, male, and have been taking Lipitor 20mg (atorvastatin

What will they do/ask me on a first visit to a lipid clinc?
Went to Dr and was told my cholesterol was 14.3!!!! SOme other number was high but couldn't take much in after he repeatedly kept saying he'd never seen as result as high!!! He's referred me to a lipid clinic but I've no idea what to expect. I've tried to start eating healthy by lowering the saturated

Hello, I am 56 years old, non smoker, normal BMI (5ft 1, 8st 7lb). My latest test show total cholesterol is 6.7, LDL 3.9, HDL 2.4.
My GP says that as I a not in the 'high risk' category there is no need for me to take statins but I even though my diet is very healthy I want to take statins for peace of mind as my father had a lot of strokes and was a non smoker and not overweight. I worry every day about this and want to ask if

Light Buoyant LDL versus Small Dense LDL.
I've heard 'Light Buoyant LDL' (Pattern A) is not a dangerous form of LDL and it is 'Small Dense LDL' (Pattern B) that can cling to the artery walls. Also, it is possible to ascertain from measurements of Triglycerides and HDL, whether or not ones LDL value is high in 'Pattern A' and low in 'Pattern
