helping (I hope) only further tests will confirm. Bete blockers working well. Resting hr down to 53/54 bpm One important question for all of you....... Even if I get treatment for my condition (stents etc), will I still need medication for the rest of my life?

Twitching of legs
Hi All I have been suffering of permanent AF for long time,controlled (not well) with Bisoprolol, Apixaban and Telmisartan and
Statins
. Recently I noted frequent twitching of my legs. Can it be connected with AF or the medicines or not? Anyone have experienced that? Many thanks.

Catarrh while taking Apixaban
I eliminated
statins
and blood pressure tablets thinking it could be that but can’t stop Apixaban to find out if this is causing it. Does anyone have or had the same problem?

Weight gain on statins
Has anyone gained weight whilst taking Atrovastatin? I started taking it 2 months ago, have been trying to lose weight for the last 6 months but now I've put on 5 lbs and can't shift it. It's a minor issue compared to others I see on here, but I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle. I'd appreciate

Medichecks results - help in interpreting please
I also understand that underactive Thyroid can also be the cause of raised cholesterol and that
statins
can cause side effects in Hypothyroid patients. I intend to ask for my Thyroid to be better managed before commencing any cholesterol treatment.

Antihypertensive drugs & PCa-specific mortality
However, we were able to adjust the analysis for the use of other drugs which might have impacted on the development and progression of PCa, such as
statins
[34]. Our drug use data is based on reimbursement for drug purchases.

Anemia - Does anyone have anemia/ low: wbc, rbc, hemoglobin, hemocrit and cobalt? &/or high B12 levels? If so, how do you resolved this?
I do take
statins
crestor 20mg, low dose aspirin and vascepa, plus the Lupron of course. Maybe those things affect the aforementioned blood levels? Anybody have any knowledge on this subject? Thanks, George
