New Job, stressed regarding previous health
Obviously i have had angina but following the stent i have no symptoms, feel perfectly healthy and daily take Aspirin,
statins
and blood pressure pills. The new job is for a duel fuel smart meter engineer, nothing physically demanding.

Leg Pain
I stopped taking
statins
for a while and that allowed me to run again ok but I still have achy and sore muscles. It’s mainly hamstrings but a bit in my calves. Doesn’t seem to be exercise related as I can get it in bed as well Anyone else have this?

Feeling confused!
And since
statins
don't bring down LP(a) - and may in fact increase it - it is useful to me to take a statin? What would it lower? Thank-you in advance for any information you can offer.

Concern over liver function test
I was discharged with
statins
and other medication pending an MRI. I'm still waiting for the MRI and my consultant appointment is not until mid-April.

This is confusing
Or do I really need to to accept I will have to go back to
statins
? Thank you for reading My recent results are: TSH 0.62 T4 total 139 ( 66 -181) Free T4 19.03 (12 - 22) Free T3 4.51 (3.1 - 6.8)

Atorvastatin
Initially I took it at night as I’ve read that our bodies make cholesterol at night so taking
statins
at night makes them more effective. I’m pretty sure it gave me disturbing dreams so I’ve changed it to break time! My cholesterol has dropped to 4 now which is great.

Can an excess of carbimazole (hyperthyroid medidaction) cause high triglycerides? How long does it take to normalise levels?
Somehow the carbimazole has given me hypothyroidism, so I would not like to start taking
statins
until the carbimazole dose is adjusted.

Exercise with mitral regurgitation
The medication is
statins
, blood pressure pills and aspirin. I have had a healthy diet since my first stroke. My question is exercise. I usually run 4-5 Miles three times a week ( a Papworth consultant put in my notes I ran 45 miles three times a week) .

Statins
Are most RA patients on
statins
? The rheumatologist has never mentioned them. My GP surgery recently asked me to attend an RA health check . A surprise as they never have done before. He did bloods for cholesterol, diabetes and something else which I can’t remember . Blood pressure, weight etc.

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.

Hello everyone.....
As of last Friday, my doctor has put me on
statins
to reduce my cholesterol level and also a daily low dose of Asprin. He said this was for prevention of HA and stroke, as I've never had one. I had Mild Diffuse Coronary artery disease diagnosed when I was 28, and it showed mild atherosclerosis.
