Rant!
He immediately blamed the HRT (been on it nearly 20 years) and then swopped to "need
statins
" which he kept repeating. I just said No, with no explaination, no point as he was not listening. In the end I just said I wanted a blood test for B12, Folate and any other vits he could stick down.

How best to take Colestyramine (Cholestyramine) please?
Confusingly I was also on
statins
for very high cholesterol (thought to be a polygenic case, note I'm a treated leukaemia patient probably with lots of mixed up genes). I have stopped taking
statins
whilst I take Colestyramine.

Amlodipine for angina
He was also referred to lipid specialist and in September last year, started fortnightly injections of Evolocumab for cholesterol (intolerant of
statins
). After a few months, started getting chest pain while out walking which GTN spray wasn't dealing with.

Some drugs including
statins
, may inhibit endogenous CoQ10 synthesis. There are also chronic diseases with lower levels of CoQ10 in tissues and organs. High doses of CoQ10 may increase both circulating and intracellular levels, but there are conflicting results regarding bioavailability.

Am I imaging things?
One Dr wanted to refer me to the Cardiologist as I have a very low resting heart rate (Cardiologist said he wasn't worried based on the 24 hour monitoring), I was put on
statins
for high Cholesteral.

Can medication be reduced after a certain time with no problems?
I will continue with the
Statins
as I have no side effects and I believe the long term benefits can be significant. Has anybody discussed reducing meds with their cardiologists, especially Flec, and what is their experience?

High HDL & High LDL/Statin will be negative for liver right? My liver enzymes are elevated already.
My question is, won't
statins
negatively impact my liver? I've read online that they do and because of my already high reading of liver enzymes should I not take them? He's calling in a Rx for the cholesterol issue today. By the way, yesterday was my first day on Wellbutrin.

4th Covid vaccine??
I went on
statins

I'm trying to have a baby as it maybe my last chance.
I was put on
statins
to lower my cholesterol. It was recommended by the doctors to try for a baby due to the
statins
. My partner wasn't kin for a baby due not wanting me to come off the
statins
, being at risk of a heart attack and a stroke.

Research
is there any research into getting rid of plaques in your arteries, I have a small one and was told to take
statins
, but they only slow progression and from what I can gather
statins
have been the only answer for 40 years!!!

Advice on pausing statins
Because this has been bumbling on for 2 weeks+ now, my current prescription ends tomorrow and I have no more
statins
.

Cholesterol and Low T3
It’s just so scary and frustrating because I really don’t want to be forced onto
Statins
if as I suspect my T3 is low (which it has been on a private test in the past). Would love to hear how others have managed to get the T3 they need in the UK?

CAD - how should it be monitored?
He has had 2 stress tests in the 6 years since diagnosis which have been normal and he is on
statins
, anti hypertensives and aspirin. On diagnosis his cardiologist told him he just needed to make a few lifestyle changes which he has not done and says he will be motivated once he needs surgery…..
