Is anyone on here taking Thybon?
Yesterday I received my first pack of Thybon, so I started this morning with 5mcg taken with my Levo and I am to take the next dose mid afternoon, as instructed by the endocrinologist. If anyone is already taking it, my question is, even though he stated mid afternoon, how many hours between doses do

Runny nose - is it a side effect of meds?
Odd question but does anyone know if any of the standard meds prescribed after cardiac arrest can give you a constantly runny nose? Am on ticagrelor, aspirin, atorvastatin, ramipril, ezetimibe, bisoprolol and Lansoprazole.

Long time not posted
Good evening from Spain Been a while since I posted, thought maybe time to give an update. Nearly 7 years post quad bypass, some may remember me as an early poster and advocate here from that dark period. So anyhow, had a check up today, all ok, bad cholesterol a bit high but I have been given new statins

Source of NDT or T3?
Looking for some advice. I’ve been having hypothyroid symptoms for years, with FT3 at the very bottom end and often below range the few times I got the doctor to test it. Morning oral temp at 35.8-36.0C Only a couple of times did it approach 50% of range and that was using desiccated thyroid supplements

Ezetimibe
I have recently been prescribed Ezetimibe 10mgs along with other drugs following my quadruple bypass. I seem to be getting pains in my legs and am wondering if this is the effect of this drug. Is anyone else experiencing this?

High, rising Lp(a) and CAC but low LDL
I seem to be falling between the cracks of NHS care. My LDL has never been a problem, but I have calcified arteries. Then, just six months ago I discovered I had significantly elevated LP(a). The nasty twin brother of LDL that likes to stick in your arteries. So I was prescribed 10 mg Ezetimibe

Having a STEMI in mid 40's...the search for underlying causes / answers for premature CHD.
Hi Everyone, My husband had a major STEMI in March 2023 with a full blockage of his circumflex artery. He was 44 years old and playing 5-a-side football in a local sports centre when he collapsed without warning. Thank goodness it happened there of all places however, as the swift actions of his team

Atorvastatin diabetes
Hi, has anyone developed new onset diabetes or prediabetes on atorvastatin? If so how soon did it show up and did changing the statin help at all? Am already on ezetimibe. Seeing GP next week and not sure what I should be asking for. Any advice gratefully received.

Stopping PPI?
Hello everyone, I'm approaching a year post Nstemi with one stent and thus the end of ticagrelor hourray! What I am wondering is if I am then down to aspirin as the only blood thinner (plus ezetimibe and atorvastatin long term but hopefully not much longer on bisoprolol and ramipril ) do I still need

Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe
Greetings, Currently on 20mg of Rosuvastatin and discussing with my cardiologist about reducing the statin and adding ezetimibe to achieve my target LDL of 50 but with a lower dose of statin. I work out a lot and do get a lot of muscle spasms..etc. I'm not sure it's the statin, but if I can achieve
