Leg Pain
I stopped taking
statins
for a while and that allowed me to run again ok but I still have achy and sore muscles. It’s mainly hamstrings but a bit in my calves. Doesn’t seem to be exercise related as I can get it in bed as well Anyone else have this?

Hello everyone.....
As of last Friday, my doctor has put me on
statins
to reduce my cholesterol level and also a daily low dose of Asprin. He said this was for prevention of HA and stroke, as I've never had one. I had Mild Diffuse Coronary artery disease diagnosed when I was 28, and it showed mild atherosclerosis.

Exercise with mitral regurgitation
The medication is
statins
, blood pressure pills and aspirin. I have had a healthy diet since my first stroke. My question is exercise. I usually run 4-5 Miles three times a week ( a Papworth consultant put in my notes I ran 45 miles three times a week) .

statins
Thank you for your replies to my question. I will ask as soon as I next see doctor. It still appears to be a minefield of choices when you have Nash and diabetes as well as all the other ailments that come with being 75. I’m fortunate to be quite fit but do work at it so one good thing. Thanks again

Medication after HA
Now I've said that, I had a STEMI aged 53, and have spoken to the doctors and cardiologist and they said I will have to stay on the beta blockers, anti blood pressure,
statins
for life.

Effects of coenzyme Q10 in early Parkinson disease: evidence of slowing of the functional decline
If you're taking
statins
you might want to reevaluate this decision.

Any suggestions for how to improve my poos
I expect this is probably being caused by the cocktail of meds I am taking - Methotrexate, Prednisone , Omeprazole, folic acid, Alendronic Acid,
statins
, and Vitamin D. However, I am wondering if there is anything I could be doing to improve this? Suggestions gratefully received.

Utterly confused.......
The meds prescribed were Metformin and
Statins
. Looking at ways to reverse it, the information is opposite to what SN was. With SN, it was natural food only, no processed, so real cheese, butter, cream, full-fat Greek yogurt - all correctly portioned out of course.

Can an excess of carbimazole (hyperthyroid medidaction) cause high triglycerides? How long does it take to normalise levels?
Somehow the carbimazole has given me hypothyroidism, so I would not like to start taking
statins
until the carbimazole dose is adjusted.

Diet recommendations welcome
hi, I have the below and was if anyone has a cholesterol reducing diet, my
statins
were doubled but not increasing further at the moment so diet and exercise? Left mainstem – unobstructed. LAD – moderate to severe mid-plaque traversing a mid Diagonal. Circumflex – mild plaque.
