Cholesterol amazement!
However I've just had the results from my first blood test since I've been on
statins
and I'm very pleased with the outcome- on 22nd April my total cholesterol was a shocking 10 but today it's down to 5.3! I'm amazed! Clearly the atorvastatin is working.

reduce serum TSH significantly so I’m wondering if any of you lovely folk can give me some advice before I speak to her. With thanks as always xx

Update on my arm misbehaving in the pool
However the doc said he did think that I’d had a TIA, and he has changed me from Rivaroxaban 20 mg to Edoxaban 30mg, and also changed my
statins
and BP meds (BP sky high) in the hope that it doesn’t happen again. At least I know now, he said it was just bad luck, so will just get on with things.

Vitamin K2 with meds
Any experts on vitamins know much about the connection between taking
statins
(atorvastatin) asperin and vitamin K2 . The more you read the more complex it gets.

Going "Hidden"
A number of people have posted, particularly about the side effects of
statins
, and then gone "Hidden". If any of them reads this please can they explain why?

For cholesterol blood test or Calcium Score?
His GP advised that he start on
statins
immediately to reduce his risk of heart disease." "A blood test for levels of cholesterol or fat — good and bad — forms part of a health MOT; total levels above 5 mmol/l (or ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol above 3 mmol/l) often lead to
statins
being suggested.

Statins
Since being on thyroxine my cholesterol returned to a normal level even when I stopped taking
statins
It is now very high again. Having missed blood checks during the pandemic I feel my tsh may be high again.

First time here and learning a lot already
I joined this site following a stroke and hearing some confusing things about
statins
and levothyroxine. I've been hypothryroid for close to three years and have never really felt any better, the GP says the same as many others 'Tests all OK".
