My Cholesterol has vastly improved, this was the reason I was sent to the endocrinologist as I didn’t want to embark on the
statins
route until my meds were right to get the cholesterol down. I am awaiting Vitamin D results The blood was taken with no medication for 24 hours.

Slightly high cholesterol
My husband had bloods taken and he has been told his cholesterol is slightly high and started on a
Statins
. She kept asking him if he was alright with it. I've suggest he hold back from starting them and try some lifestyle changes first. Is this reasonable?

Scary heartbeat
Beta blockers Blood thinners and
Statins
. My heart beat is nice is on 65 but it’s really and I mean really strong. I have a cuppa resting on my chest and it’s really moving the mug. Not just slightly, I mean the mug is dancing. Surely this isn’t AF?

Cholesterol
Any thoughts or advice if
statins
are a good option in general for women with PV. My gp says it’s up to me as the research is inconclusive.

As a patient with atherosclerosis diagnosed 15 years ago and then prescribed
statins
, following the need for a heart bypass I did my own research and stopped

Is there agreement that Cholesterol should be low?
I've seen some discussions on here regarding the pros and cons of
statins
, Mediterranean diet, going vegan etc. Think I need to learn more before I can make any decision.

Stopping statins
So, last January Dx’d with PMR; both local MD and Rheumatologist said to stop my statin. I have a strong family history of stroke but I said OK. Started on Prednisone 10mg; now down to 3mg/2.5mg alternate days, methotrexate once a week. Doing just fine there. Couple of times I suggested to each doc separately

Bit of a shock
No high blood pressure , not overweight and walked every day ,however I did have a slight stroke 30 years ago( never found a reason) and should have taken aspirin and
statins
regularly ( I didn't) Can't praise NHS enough.

Ibuprofen gel on blood thinners
Hi - I’m on
statins
, beta blocker, clopidogrel and aspirin post stent. I’ve been mobile - playing football again. But now have a really painful spot in my foot that’s impacting my exercise (feels like a bruised joint).

Almonds, aspirin and statins - "Apolipoprotein B underlies the causal relationship of circulating blood lipids with coronary heart disease"
For those interested in such things, a couple of publications point to the protein known as ApoB as causative of/correlating with coronary heart disease: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/19004895v1 https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.119.315019. ApoB is found in a number of lipoproteins

Immunotherapy (Keytruda) and COC protocal
I am taking mebendazole, metformin and
statins
. Have yet to add the antibiotic. I am wondering if I can continue the meds while on immunotherapy. I have also written to COC and await their reply.
