Cramps - simvastatin
I have been having bad cramping in my left hand for a while now, I ran out of simvastatin nearly a week ago, will be picking my new script tomorrow, and have found that the cramping has now stopped it may be coincidence I don't know, unsure now whether to stop statins altogether or to possibly take a

Haven’t posted here in a while. I don’t know how to ask my GP about starting a statin as a preventive or even if it’s right.

Known disease hypothyroidism which I know does increase Lp(a) level’s especially how high mines been. But anyhow I sufffer with symptoms that seem heart related

Low statin dose increased lipoprotein a significantly
I have elevated lipoprotein a [lp(a)] and elevated cholesterol levels, am 70 years old and have a coronary artery calcium [CAC] score of 0 (or did before I started statins a short while ago). I just learned about the lp(a) level around 18 months ago. I started a 5 mg dose of simvastatin 15 months

Edoxaban and dreams and nightmares ...... Part 2
Been figuring the best way to write my thanks to you all for your comments on Part 1, so, tryin’ this. Whilst I have been reading your comments I have also been reading ‘The paper in the packet’ for each of the drugs that I originally referred to. It does seem as though each of these three DOAC's side

Nustendi
Is anyone else here taking Nustendi ? my wife had her annual review with our surgery's pharmacist and he told her that her cholestorol was higher than they liked it to be. She was already on Ezetimibe but he's stopped that ( good job as you can't get it ) he put her on Nustendi which is a combi of Ezetimibe

Edoxoban Update
I recently posted that my Cardiologist had put me on Edoxoban 30mg daily, instead of Aspirin which I had been taking for years. He said the Edoxoban was both safer, and unlike Aspirin would prevent the risk of stroke. A day after starting Edoxoban, I either came down with a cold, or allergy symptoms

Anxiety is back as bad as ever
Hi all, not doing well at all lately regarding anxiety. I know the reason but that doesn’t help. I have recently been told that I’m pre diabetic and that I have CKD both thought to be due to heart meds. Then the other day, out of the blue, another call from surgery regarding cholesterol results. All
