Statins , clutching at straws ?
I have been on statins for over 10 years now, firstly Simvastatin and then was changed 12 months ago to Atorvastatin...both give me leg pains and poor sleep which is causing me huge problems. So I am cosidering stopping my statins altogether , only for a couple of weeks to see how I get on....I know

Take meds on an empty stomach, or take with food, or ?
I've spoken with many pharmacists and my electrophysiologist as well, and I'm puzzled because they say the same or different things! If anyone can ring in on what *might* work best, I'd appreciate it. I take the metoprolol extended release once a day in the morning. I take the flecainide twice a day

Ezetimibe - experience?
Been taking Ezetimibe for 7 days & last 24 hours I have steadily felt more & more rubbish. Emotional, tired, shoulder aches & generally feeling weak. Anyone had a similar experience- does it improve?

Ezetimibe
I've just had 3 days of heck with this cholesterol lowering drug. It could be all the E numbers or the povidone but my bs has been high for the three days along with many side effects. I certainly couldn't go through another day of it, so I'm giving up. The reason I was trying it is because I

Feeling so scared
I just came out of hospital 2 weeks ago. I had a ''massive'' heart attack the nurse said which spooked me a bit. Because of where we live I got taken to 3 hospitals in one day. I am a retired nurse of 22 years ago and should know better but I am so scared and frightened. Usually I am in control. Had

Statin intolerance

Have managed to get my cholesterol level down to normal without statins and result came back from lab “no further action” but rang my doctor anyway to discuss the fact I should be on them as a precautionary measure . He put me on Ezetimibe 10 mg but no

I am about to start taking Ezetimibe for high cholesterol. I a bit hesitant as with high blood pressure tablets I have had a lot of side effects. Has anyone been prescribed this drug before and what side effects of any have they suffered.

Heart med side affects
I’m currently, with my GP, experimenting with statins. Was on Atorvastatin 40mg for 3 years but wondered if I couldn’t feel better day to day. Symptoms were, muscle aches and pains and odd days of chronic fatigue. After stopping the med for 1 month I felt better than I had for a long time. Then switched

Statins & Metformin
For those interested in the full text of the recent study: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cam4.2862 Of particular interest is Table 3. Note that Lovastatin did very poorly, but not many men were using it. Simvastatin, which had more users than the other statins combined, was disappointing

HCA, does it make any sense?
Since I first read it here [1] I have been following the authorization for marketing procedure of medicinal products based on bempedoic acid (Nilemdo) and bempedoic acid and ezetimibe (Nustendi).
