Statins

Cholesterol problem and taking Crestor
Statins
are too dangerous to take because of all the side effects. I have high cholesterol too, but I refuse any medication for it. Change the way you eat and eat only good fats like coconut oil, butter, and virgin Olive oil.

Hi, I’ve been told that I should go on
statins
to lower my Ldl cholesterol & was told that it would higher my blood pressure (as its quite low) But I’ve never heard of that before, has anyone any experience of this.

Lupus/APS and cod liver oil
I'm currently on lifelong warfarin,
statins
, vit D, hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate injections. The inflammatory arthritis is very painful, would cod liver oil be safe to take with anticoagulants? I think the oil would help with the inflammation. Many thanks

Can statin side effects occur six months after starting?
I know I have to weigh up the benefits of
statins
over side effects but I have read a number of posts from people who have switched
statins
due to side effects with positive results.

Total Cholesterol 10.4 mmol/L LDL 7.2 HDL 2.5 Triglycerides 1.6 The doctor said my TSH was a little high, but was more concerned about my high cholesterol, with seemingly no reason for it (don't smoke/drink, recently lost 3 stone - not obese, exercise well, no family history) and wanted me to take

Angina, always normal cholesterol - hereditary
I can see the logic of putting me on
statins
BUT how can they tell what dose to give me if the blood tests are always normal?

Back again with an IF experience to share
It's not just about losing weight anymore, I aim to be in a position where I can stop taking
statins
and blood pressure tablets. I bought a blood pressure monitor in February and since I've been fasting my blood pressure has gone from hypertension range to 112/65mmHg.
