Cholesterol Help Please?
Doctor rang me a few minutes ago going on about my liver enzymes that are creeping up and my cholesterol, she said that was high at 7 and wanted to give me
statins
to which I refused point blank, I told her
statins
had almost disabled my brother until he managed to get off them.

High Cholesterol
Obviously I will be contacting the dr for more information, but just wondered if anyone experienced high cholesterol caused by underactive thyroid and if thyroid medication reduced cholesterol levels without needing
statins
. Thank you

When to take my T3
I take
statins
and BP meds in the morning and my Levo at night. Or should I just take it at night with my Levo.

Starting Statins.
After recent blood tests Surgery decided I should be on
Statins
. Atorvastatin now perscibed but not started. Seems to be a safety net as Cholesterol is within normal limits .

cirrhosis and statins
I have alcoholic cirrhosis and am being recommended
statins
for cholesterol by my practice nurse. I’m a 57 year old UK male. The information sheet from the nurse session warns not to take
statins
if you have cirrhosis.

Test results
Hi everyone, I've received the following test results and have been advised to take
statins
. Do you think these results look like I could get my levels down with diet and exercise? My surgery obviously doesn't think so... Many thanks

It says online that it has less adverse effects than
statins
, but the side-effects on the enclosed leaflet pretty much cover everything you can imagine. Anybody got any experience of this medication?

Statins: 2024 update
they seem useful, even if it’s not an interventional trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38164036/

Statins and Af?
Hi, how many of us are taking
statins
along with the usual Af meds? I think I may have to start these soon and wondered about the effects as I'm nervous about starting yet another drug?

Interaction of Statins with other medicine
Just looking for some guidance - is there any known interaction between
statins
and other medicine that one needs to be aware of? I am mostly interested in the usual stuff like antibiotics or vitamins, or stuff you usually get at the pharamacy for when you are under weather for minor conditions.
