High Cholesterol
I am going to ask him if I should try
Statins
, although they seem to cause muscle cramps in some people ? In previous tests my own doctor said they are within the limmits.

Lone Paroxysmal AF or Hypothyroid Symptom?
Adverse responses to betablockers and
statins
or fluoride-containing medicines should never be ignored btw, they can all impact the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and disclose a latent thyroid condition.

Stenosis (blocking!) of the LAD - will it now be monitored?
The doctor I spoke to said the stenosis was linked to genetic traits (dad had high cholesterol at my age) and has put me on
statins
. My concern now is that presumably once my ASD is fixed I won't be getting reviews of how that arterial disease is developing.

Do natural supplements work to reduce high cholesterol?
She mentioned taking
statins
. I declined for various reason which she understood. She suggested that I try a 3 month course of natural supplements and gave me a freebie Cholesfytol which contains among other things red yeast rice.

Statins for paroxysmal Atrial Fibulation?
Afib &
statins
? The argument is that it reduces major cardiac events in AF but no mention of P. Afib. Be grateful for any pointers. I'd like to read up before my appointment. Sorry to go on about this but it's praying on my mind. Knowledge is power and all that.

Rosuvastatin
can
statins
cause a runny nose ? since being on Rosuvastatin my nose constantly runs or is blocked it’s driving me mad, I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence though.

Plant Sterols.
I've been told my cholesterol is high, it's 6.1 and my GP wants me to take
Statins
. I am not happy about this as I feel sure they will upset my IBS so I wondered if plant sterols were compatible with levothyroxine.

High Cholesterol & PLAC test

or should I push for more answers (as I'm still in daily pain with my left leg twisting) Really appreciate any advice, I can't think straight, struggle making decisions and so forgetful, I live on my own and it's
