High number of medications
I take 14 medications for heart failure, diabetes 2, GCA, High blood pressure, COPD and a CRT-D fitted. Yet I feel worn out and depressed. My legs are weak and losing muscle tone, my blood pressure crashes when I take my medication.I hardly go out now. Each department has this competition to change or

Repatha injections
Is anyone taking Repatha injections to lower cholesterol? . I had my first injection two weeks ago and within days I developed lower back pain. I know it is one of the side effects and believe me I’ve had them all!!! As I have to take the injection every two weeks, I wondered if the side effects continue

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

Lp(a) results are in ….
I’ve recently had bloods taken to test for FH and Lp(a) levels. I had a heart attack in 2022 at aged 51 and was started on a whole ton of medications afterwards including Atorvastatin 80mg and then a bit later adding in 10mg Ezetimibe. My LDL cholesterol has not been able to reach the target of 1.4

Please forgive me if I am totally wrong as I have had zero sleep for two nights now. I was put on Pramipexole (i think that is what it is called) but when I needed to increase the dose to four a night I was unable to sleep due to insomnia, so two days ago I started taking Ropinirole which feels like

Statins! Oh the pain
Hi I have been on statins since having my HA in late August in Turkey on holiday. I was put on Turkish drugs and apart from fatigue I was fine on these. I have since been on Atorvstatin 80mg but I have suffered really badly with aching legs and arms. I spoke to GP and they changed me to a lower dose

Zanubrutinib and hair loss?
Hello and Happy Holidays to all! After almost 5 years post captivate trial, I will likely start Zanubrutinib in February or March. My specialist suggested taking Simvastatin in combination with Celebrex experimentally for a couple of months to see if my numbers remain stable. If not, then I will begin

Ezetimibe shortage?
I’ve just been to Boots to pick up a repeat prescription (ordered online via my GP) and was told they could not provide Ezetimibe and there is a manufacturer’s shortage. Handed me an iou and that was that! Store is understaffed and unhelpful. Have others had difficulty getting this drug? I take

I have chronic renal failure stage 3 , have had aerotic valve surgery, also fairly high ldl cholesterol, prediabetes because of simvastatin, nhs will not authorize pcsk9 inhibitors for me , it seems that the nhs would prefer you to become diabetic than give better drugs without side effects

Simvastatin v Atorvastatin
Just had a conversation with my Surgery employed Pharmacist. she asked me if I would object to switching from Simvastatin to Atorvastatin as the Simvastatin was rather an old drug. I was put on it around 2007. I told her to go ahead ... no problems. The following quote is what I found during an ultra

I am in my 70s and discovered to have heart issues at a pre opp assessment for a bowel op. Cardiologist put me on Ramipril, Bisoprolol and a Statin prior to having an MRI and CT Scan. It appears I have a mild systolic murmur and an artery less that 50% blocked. Aspirin now added to medication.I am finding

Statins may increase the risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
New Italian study [1] - which will be misunderstood, imo. The authors seem to have expected statin use to lower the risk of PCa: "... their anti-inflammatory features {statins} could play a role in preventing tumorigenesis." Instead: "Tumor incidence was higher among men taking statins, compared
