cholesterol levels for thyroid people
After the sterols giving me the muscle cramps I’m wary of starting
statins
… as muscle cramps that are prolonged are a rhabdomyelosis risk .

Cholesterol best values, latest scientific studies
The latest scientific studies say that I have very good values to live many years but the doctors say that I am very bad and I have to take
statins
. Science has evolved a lot and doctors have been left behind? . I hope someone with more knowledge explains it. Thank you.

how much does gtn do?
I am still majorly out of breath when I exercise and dizzy etc. but the only help I have had is double up on the
statins
. also if I was exercising would that effect the blood flow. wouldn't it be more difficult for blood to get around quickly through a 49% restriction?

Diltiazem side effects
It is true that I have IBS and I cannot use the
statins
and I am allergic to some medication, but I don't believe it's esophagus spasm, because I had endoscopy and they didn't find anything.

statins
There is lots of info on internet about cholesterol injections instead of
statins
, but they all seem to have side effects as well!

First post ! High cholesterol 12.1 Low tryglycerides. Average HDL. Thoughts welcome .
Because there is no heart disease in the family and my parents lived long healthy lives I decided years ago not to take
statins
and so did they . Still , I am very surprised at this high number !

help to understand
Last year I was out on
statins
also and I lost 2stone in about 6 weeks, only half stone was intentional. I then had tests, found gallstones but surgeons don’t want to touch as might cause greater problems. I was then advised from being underactive I was not overactive.

Alternative to Statins?
Hi All, Just seen the attached article in a magazine & thought some of you might be interested seeing as there's been one or two posts mentioning cholesterol and
statins
. I'll leave you to do your own medical research on it. Regards

Statins and blood pressure meds
The thyroid group are very anti
statins
believing that if the thyroxine dose is correct cholesterol will automatically lower. Doctor sending me for a heart scan at some time but insistent I take the meds. Does anyone else have experience of this situation?

Another Statin meta-analysis.
The pooled estimates showed that exposure to hydrophilic
statins
was not associated with the incidence of PCA .., while the incidence of PCA was significantly decreased in populations exposed to lipophilic
statins
compared with the nonexposed group .., mainly in Western countries ...

Statins and blood pressure meds
I have had
statins
prescribed the last two years or so and have never been keen to take them considering the advice on this forum. Doctor insistent that I start them again along with blood pressure tablets. Blood tested again a few days ago and everything has come back with range .

Bisoprolol
I take
statins
and now 50gms of Losartin for hypertension. Also 1.25 of Bisoprolol 3 times a day.The pain and palpitations are decreasing but I feel tired a most of the time and my strength is declining. Exercise is becoming a real effort.
