Atorvastatin... problem with nausea etc
My cholesterol had been well controlled with
Simvastatin
and
Ezetimibe
for years and was low when I was admitted to hospital, so presumably this maximum dose is prophylactic. So... questions... are these GI side effects (?) from Atorvastatin? Are they common? Do they go away after a while?

Polypharmacy
I'm in too many medications but my Cardiologist says that he cannot reduce any of them. I suffer from AF and Hypothyroidism plus High blood Cholesterol and High Blood pressure.

Muscle pain/ weakness spasms
Hi I have taking atorvastatin 80mgs for a couple of years now, before that simvastatin I have always had weak muscles but lately having spasms and pain in my left/hip leg. I know one of the side effects of cholesterol meds is muscle weakness, just wondering what it feels like and how long did it take

Can I take these at the same time??
I always take my extended-release metoprolol with a bit of food. Two hours later (stomach supposedly empty), I take my Flecainide and lisinopril. I wait another two hours without eating, and then have brunch. Is it ok to take these 5, listed below, all together ***at the same time*** with brunch?

Does Simvastatin cause onset of Myasthenia Gravis?
The connection between Simvastatin and PMR is established, and I would be grateful for any feedback on the statement below: The use of blood cholesterol-lowering medications called statins is linked to a small risk of myasthenia gravis (MG), according to a large World Health Organization database study

Can Simvastatin bring about the onset of Myasthenia Gravis?
I understand there is a connection between Simvastatin and onset of PMR, but has anyone had experience of it causing Myasthenia Gravis please. My friend is on Simvastatin and just been diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. I've googled it and found this: The use of blood cholesterol-lowering medications

Any info on Red Yeast Rice (RYR) masking PSA?
Strange query indeed. I had my monthly PSA test on Tuesday. For the whole week before that I was not taking my usual 20 mg of Atorvastatin + 10 mg Ezetimibe. In the meantime, I had ordered a bottle of Jarrow Formulas Red Yeast Rice +co-Q10. PSA came back as anticipated at 0.12, but the cholesterols

CHANGE OF BP MEDICATION - INTERACTION WITH SIMVASTATIN 40MG
As posted previously I was switched from attenolol; to Amlodipine 5mg. However apparently Amlodipine does not interact well with statins 40mg. So the GP has now put me on Lercanidipine 10mg. I post this as info in case anyone has concerns with Amlodipine and Statins being taken together and are

Ezetimibe side-effects
I've been prescribed two statins in the past although I've never had a heart attack. My cholesterol is on the high side. SSSAfter the 2nd dose of simvastatin I woke at night gasping for breath. My doctor switched to rosuvastatin and 30 minutes after taking the only tablet I experienced numbness, tingling

Statins and Type 2 Diabetes
Not strictly speaking an MPN question but I’d be interested to know if anyone has had a similar experience of statins and insulin resistance as a possible side effect. When I was first diagnosed with ET 17 years ago my GP put me on Simvastatin to reduce my cholesterol, which was only slightly high, and

What do I do?
Have just had a phone call from my health centre. The doctor is concerned about my cholesterol level. (10). This was the level I had when I was first tested on a whim whilst in holiday over 20 years ago. I watched my diet and got it down to 6 something but doctors said I should go on statins. Was given
