Zoladex and HRT
I have high cholesterol which I'm on
statins
for and the more I read the more I think this is a hormonal thing too. I'd love to hear from anyone who has taken Zoladex and been on HRT. How did you get on? Would you recommend it? Thanks so much- this group has been a life saver this week!

Update to private cardiology consultation.
He also reviewed my cholesterol figures and said I didn’t need
statins
. (Also said it should have been a fasting blood test to give a true result) . Was excellent he could see previous blood test results not just my latest, on the computer. Not concerned with my blood pressure.

statins
Just been offered
statins
but not because of cholesterol and weighing up the pros and cons as the doctor has also told me taking it increases the chances of me developing diabetes. Wondered if you have any information about the side effects?

statin obsessed GP
All diagnosed and treated privately , my useless G P phones to increase my
statins
! Cholesterol 5.6. Yes a bit high but has never mentioned or asked about my general health. I am convinced they are on a bonus scheme for prescribing

Statins
I have held off with
statins
for few years and have recently been having cholesterol drinks to try to lower level. My cholesterol level has fallen gradually but is still 6.2.

Also, do
statins
interact with Levothyroxine, causing you to require a lower dose, and/or does aging and lifestyle cause you to require a lower dose? I retired from nursing a couple of years ago so I'm much less active than I was. Would be interested to know if anyone has any advice for me.

Inflammation much greater risk than cholesterol
Statins
work because they reduce inflammation, not because they reduce cholesterol. I believe this also applies to AF. There is a drug which does reduce inflammation: colchicine, which is used in the treatment of gout.

Worried that my heart health is in a downward phase
I stopped taking my
statins
in May. I get breathless after even very moderate exertion and do sense a slight “heaviness” in the chest when this occurs.

may help by reducing the tumour generated cholesterol? Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question. kind regards brothers Darren

Anyone on anything a bit unusual and helpful? Any off-label or off-patent drugs?
I was reading a book about cancer and the common re-use of older drugs and off-label prescriptions to create a treatment stack (such as using
statins
, H2blockers, metformin etc) and it made me think hmm afib is also often a complex situation.
