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.

Statins and prednisolone
Consulting Google while waiting for a GP slot, I decided to stop the
statins
and within a day or two relief from the digestive disorder was just great.I realise I will probably need to reinstate the
statins
when I'll hope for a smoother passage.

Two heart attacks
She started me on
statins
and referred me to cardiology but not aspirin. I’ve started that anyway as a precaution. Im still waiting for the appointment but am living in terror that I am going to arrest at any moment. I would love to hear how others have managed, Best wishes

My cholesterol was 4.6 and is now reduced to 2.0 since taking
statins
Since this decreasing level i have changed my lifestyle and diet. I have reduced red meat, no processed food, no crisps or chocolate and limited alcolhol to below 20 units a week.

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?

Don't accept the first answer
There are no blockages in the arteries whatsoever and no signs of any issues with the microvascular system either so I've been told I can immediately come off the medication - with the exception of
statins
.

Has anyone tried Inclisiran in place of Statins
My doctor is keen to reduce my cholesterol as it is 7.3 and I can't/wont take
statins
. I also have problems with palpitations so can't even raise my levo. I am a bit worried I am developing a heart condition too.

Ezetemibe side affects
I can't take
statins
so they're trying me on this. My cholesterol was 6 total and it's come down to 4.7 but I am on a low fat diet now and have lost half a stone so far. I'm not like this usually so wondered if anyone got the same affects from me when on ezetimibe.

Cholesterol readings
Hello medically-minded people Tryimg to decide whether to take
statins
or not. This is my latest cholesterol test readings. I knw that the total cholesterol level is high (as it tells me) but my diet is not bad (exercise level lowish though due to PMR) but are there any/enough mitigating factors?

I am on dual course antibiotics to get rid of the infection and my surgeon confirmed i can stop all medications including clopidigrol and
statins
due to my extremely low level of Apol B and Apol E. I can take the low dose asprin for life as tbe consequence of the CABG x2.

Stent - do I need one?
I was put on Beta blockers,
statins
, and now I have no pains, low blood pressure and am walking up to 18 miles a day with group. I do get raised heart beats if I walk to fast, or am physically tired. Now booked in for Angiogram, for possible stent. GP says I can refuse stent if I want.

[i]Red Yeast Rice Extract (RYRE)[/i]
[/i] [i]
Statins
are well researched with the research being peer reviewed. There are also very tight controls over its manufacture and dosage which is not the case with RYRE.

Anyone else have Tendon Issues?
Because
statins
can be a factor, I immediately quit taking atorvastatin. I also found a study that claimed aromatase inhibitors can also be a factor—I cannot quit Letrozole! Has anyone else had tendon tears? It is extremely painful!
