Verapamil v bisoprolol
I was diagnosed with paroxysmal AF about 15 months ago, given 10mg of Bisoprolol together with Rivaroxaban and
statins
. I hate the bisoprolol, and through discussion with GP, I have reduced it, but it still gives me a 'foggy' head and, I think, has contributed to weight gain.

How have you managed to reduce the sugar in your diet after a heart attack? What kind of diet do you follow to reduce sugar?
I've managed to reduce my cholesterol to a satisfactory level by taking
statins
and being very careful about eating foods high in saturated fat.I'm concerned now about how to reduce the sugar in my diet.

decline in renal function on HBP meds
Have mild diabetes, no treatment and high cholesterol, don’t tolerate
statins
. Been getting regular bloods with diabetic nurse at new practice for past 3 years. 2 years ago I noticed my renal function had dropped below 90 and continued to drop at each check.

They seem desperate to start me on
statins
as it obviously benefits them but still remain ignorant as to the fact the Thyroid is probably the issue. Anyone experienced this? Here are my latest private test results which I had done in December. Just wondering also if my T3 is still too low?

alendronic problems
just trying to check my stomach ache, dizziness at times, reflux and chest pain are all from alendronic acid, as I take
statins
as well. Feel bloated and lack of appetite. What alternatives are there to increase bone strength? Anyone have these symptoms ?

2 1/2 year update and Rheumy consultation
I'm also on Alendronic Acid and
statins
. GP was concerned that I was unable to reduce pred so referred me to a Rheumy at the RD&E (Exeter). I had my first consult last week (incidentally the consultant was really pro PMRGCAUK) and she is worried that the pred may be masking something else.

Concerned about my sons' futures after atherosclerosis diagnosis
Also suggested that I start
statins
, atarvostatin. Few days later was asked if I wanted to be involved in a study of people that had presented at A&E with chest pain but were not diagnosed with heart failure/disease.

It Is NOT just Prednisolone
Statins
for liver damage are needed and diuretics for fluid retention plus others all adding to the mix and confusing our bodies. Our bodies are now no longer healing themselves automatically as they were but actually attacking themselves and we need the drugs to counter the effects.

The stress of not being able to tolerate Statins
The stress of not being able to take
Statins
. This subject comes up often as to whether I should be on
Statins
. Some people tolerate them well and I have friends who can. That’s fine.

newly diagnosed with high cholesterol
I’ve just decided to take
statins
after poor cholesterol results - 7.1 overall, ‘bad’ around 4, always been against them but worried lifestyle/diet changes not enough. Think might have famial type as mother always had very high levels despite healthy diet. but brother won’t get tested!

Magnesium for RLS
It doesn't help everyone by any means, perhaps partly because some triggers and exacerbators will - as in my experience with
statins
, aspartame and others - overwhelm it. (It doesn't even help my brother).

Terrified 😢 Just looking for shared experiences.
My total cholesterol has gone up to 6.9 (it used to be around 5) and with my family history my GP prescribed
statins
. Then I felt unwell whilst running - suddenly really sweaty, dizzy, sick and I’ve been getting discomfort in my left arm/ shoulder.

Statins and Prostate Cancer
Recently started low dose atorvastatin. I have seen journal articles showing it can make it worse, no affect and improve outcomes if started AFTER starting ADT. Opinions?

Side effects of Bempedoic Acid
I have high cholesterol and reacted badly to 2
statins
so was given ezetimibe a year ago. This hasn't reduced the cholesterol enough so now started on Bempedoic acid in addition. I read it might also help improve fatty liver, which I also have. Feel very bloated and tired after 2 doses.
