Prostate Cancer and Statins
My GP wants me to go on
statins
. I had hoped to continue trying to mitigate the high overall and LDL levels through diet and exercise, but I get the feeling it might be time for
statins
.

My AF Journey and Statins ?
So I have done a google search for any connections between
statins
and af but there doesn't seem to be much evidence for this. I am probably being paranoid about this but my palpitations started within 6 weeks of starting atorvastatin. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this ?

Fed up with meds
My cholesterol is up so started on
statins
but realised that mycophenolate my be partly responsible for increase in cholesterol and that certain
statins
can cause muscle and joint pain. Also didn't realise that antidepressants are often given for chronic pain.

Case report: Rhabdomyolysis and kidney injury in a statin-treated hypothyroid patient-kill two birds with one stone
However, persistent rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury following discontinuation of
statins
require careful evaluation of the underlying causes to avoid missing a curable disease.

Can statins be turbocharged?
I’ve regularly swam around 1,500m in a pool before I went pop in June 2019 & as soon as I could after. I love water & the exercise is good for me. On Monday I cooked a dinner which featured nothing new ingredient wise & then went swimming. I clocked my fastest time I can ever recall of 34:30 (37:55

confused
Back in January I had tests and Drs were not convinced I had angina but put me on Asprin and
statins
. By March after diet, pains seemed to go away but have come back in July. That’s weird on its own. My BP is good, so is my cholesterol but I can’t really walk more than 2 mins without a pain.

Shock diagnosis and 4 week wait for "Rapid Access" Heart Failure Clinic. Is my Anxiety justified?
Statins
too. Later the pacemaker clinic said I may just need another lead. When the echo team left, another very junior doctor sorted out the leads and said, bless him, that he didn't know why they call it heart failure. It's a decline in function.

My A Fib story
So I am on beta blockers, also on
statins
as I am now in an at risk group and a blood test revealed high cholesterol. Also on anti depressants for anxiety. Just had another 24 hour tape as I still feel fluttering a few times a day, everyday. Also woken up with 124 bpm.

Asparin - after breakfast or before exercise?
(I go to the gym later in the day 3 times a week, but that's after eating) I was put on
statins
& asparin after a recent health check showed heart damage from a silent heart 😔. I'm asymptomatic but don't want it to happen again.

Plant Sterols for reduction of cholesterol
My current GP suggested
statins
. I declined. She then suggested trying plant sterols. I've ordered a couple pf packs from Healthspan UK today. The reviews seem very positive. Has anyone else taken this route? If so, what was your experience. Thanks for reading.

My reaction to Crestor & Nubeqa combo. I need to make some adjustments. This study says simvastatin is best against APC. Your thoughts?

Good morning,
So my question is about
statins
. I read a book about ten years ago saying that
statins
are simply a money spinner and that we don’t need them. After all, people still die of heart attacks. So my question is, what are people’s OPINIONS around
statins
?
