waiting for a diagnosis
I have been on
statins
for years as most of my relatives have died young of heart attack and stroke. My sister had to have a heart bypass in her 50’s. Ecg was abnormal so they referred me to cardiology clinic.

Hi all I've just joined the group and look forward to any advice and support that is offered. I have angina.
I have 2 stents in the right coronary artery and despite being on
statins
since 2011 am experiencing rising cholesterol. I have been referred to the lipid clinic. Various doses and types of
statins
have caused awful side effects so It has been suggested by the gp that we discuss the injections.

My cholesterol is 6.6, lower than it’s ever been and I do not want to take
statins
. My gp doesn’t want to retest TSH and I don’t think I have been tested for T3 or T4. Do I need to stop the carbimazole before doing the test and if yes, how long before?

Probably 7 of the top 12 or so are
statins
, metformin, sulforaphane, melatonin, lycopene, modified citrus pectin, vitamin E, and vitamin D.

getting older
Is there an alternative to
statins
. I also have an under active thyroid and take thyroxine, I have read that an active thyroid makes cholesterol higher, but is that the case if it’s controlled by medication.

GPwanted to put me on
Statins
but Haem said
Statins
don’t go with Pegasys, I cannot see any contraindications between Pegasys and
Statins
in the BNF I am currently off Pegasys due to the pains I am experiencing which are actually worse than when I was taking it.

prasugrel
I take ramipril and
statins
etc as normal but not prasugrel.I have read that it can be taken for up to 30months although this can increase the risk of bleeding anyone else had same.

Just a follow up to my post last week
Cholesterol is another issue and of course wants me to go on
statins
which at this point I refused. If it wasn’t for the help on here I would of been lost and so confused thank you so much. I’ve started on a Vit B complex as well as my other Betteryou sprays so I’m hoping they help.

Under active thyroid & taking statins
I told her I was surprised as I have a really good diet & watch what I eat, she said it may be down to my under active thyroid and mentioned prescribing
statins
. I told her I need to do some research first & came across this site. There are a few posts re cholesterol/
statins
& many mention T3.

Is this a long wait to see a cardiologist, or is it normal?
I had an MI while abroad in December, I had to have CPR, I had a stent put in and spent 4 days in a foreign hospital ( it was very nice and my treatment was excellent) and I am now on what appears from this forum to be a pretty standard cocktail of thinners,
statins
, beta blockers, etc .
