Heart attack symptoms in women
For background, I have ME, Fibromyalgia and type 2 diabetes with associated high blood pressure and I have been on blood pressure medication and
statins
since 2008. My tests showed early signs of ischaemic heart disease and that I have recently had a small heart attack.

At a loss
I am so fed up at the moment with everything that’s going on as I know they say don’t take
statins
, beta blockers interfere with thyroid medication. When should I retest privately my last test was in October but just don’t know if all these medications will have a big effect on my levels.

statins
I tried to post this yesterday but can’t see it anywhere. Is there a statin that doesn’t have increased blood sugar as a side- effect? I’m on atorvastatin 80 and am told I’m pre- diabetic. So I’d like to change, if I still have to take the awful things.

This is about not being able to eat with hypothyroidism.
I have high cholesterol 7.7 but cannot take
statins
or non
statins
. I have low Vitamin D but have taken lots of different vitamin d supplements but they all cause chronic diarreah. I have had cortisol checked which was normal.

Alirocumab (Pralient) anti PCSK9
The Cardiologists then tried to put me back on
statins
and ezetimibe to lower my cholestérol I refused the
Statins
and consulted the Consultant for the NIMN and she said I should not take the Ezetimibe either.

Atorvastatin and MS
I have a quick question related to
statins
and MS. Has anyone been prescribed Atorvastatin and experienced increased muscle and joint pain. Would be interested in hearing others experience with statin drugs and its impact on their MS symptoms. Thank you.

statins
etc.

good blood test results
The Gp will re-test in 3 months so I’ve got some work to do if I still want to avoid going on
statins
. The blood tests were done just a few days after the indulgences of Christmas so hopefully it’ll be better next time. My CV qRisk is still under 10% so I’m pretty happy this evening.

When to accept an increase in hydroxycarbemide tablets? Advice please
I’m very well and my cholesterol is well controlled with
statins

Statins and IBS C
However, I have now been prescribed
statins
for my ever increasing cholesterol and I see that one possible side effect is muscle cramps and constipation which is the last thing I need! I just wondered if anyone else takes
statins
and if so do they notice any effect on their IBS?
