Angela.
I have recently been prescribed Clopidogrel, Lansoprazole and
statins
due to a potential eye stroke. Im currently undergoing various tests to identify any problems. I have close family history of heart disease and strokes. I thought this group sounded like a friendly informative place to join.

My LDL-C was 4.3 before the stent, then after
statins
and a radical diet change, it was 1.4 in Feb and is now back up to 1.8.

Return to big brother house
Hola, having just spent a month and a half in Spain I have now returned to Blighty and unfortunately I've had to bring my PMRGCA with me. ( we've become quite attached, its very needy) Ok so an update, still on 40mg of preds, blood thinners and beta blockers and
statins
, so nothing has changed there

12th Trip to Resus with different outcome
I left the cardiac ward with
statins
to add to my already substantial list of regular meds. Over the last 5 years I have had 11 more events with heart rate up to 200/195. Only 5 of those have I sought help for.

Just been given Ezetimibe 10mg
I am allergic to
Statins
so won't/can't take them. In fact other drugs always give me muscle problems even Finesteride damaged one of my Hamstrings. My figures are: HDL=1.27(-) LDL=3.5 5.5 overall, as baseline (I have not started Ez. yet). I am on Clopidogrel and take B12 supps 1000mg.

Strange sensations
After my my latest blood test the doctor put me on
statins
. My colesterol has been very high for years but the doctor said that controlling Parkinsons was more important. Could that have made the situation worse.

Statins and grapefruit juice?
I was under the impression that, if one is taking
statins
, as I am, grapefruit and grapefruit juice were to be avoided at all costs.

New to forum after recently having a TIA
I’m now on
statins
, anticoagulant and blood pressure tablets. I had already made significant lifestyle changes 6 weeks prior to this happening as that is when I found out my bp and cholesterol were raised, but it seems it wasn’t done in time.

Statins
It is difficult to make any changes, but i think i would rather try to make some changes before I start
statins
. Are there any concerns regarding
statins
in general, or in relation to PA that I should be concerned about? I think I was low on b12 feb/march and had let dosing slip.

Chloresterol drug, clinical trial.
I have been on
statins
since undergoing the bypass and my ldl chloresterol has been kept at an acceptable level between 3 and 4. The trial which will take 12 months will involve an under skin injection every 4 weeks with close and regular monitoring of bloods, ecg etc.

What is causing these awful headaches ?
I was put on isosorbide mononitrate, bisoprolol, aspirin and
statins
. I had awful headaches so the isosorbide mononitrate was reduced but the headaches continued, every afternoon I would get a dull ache which then turned into a migraine type headache, really debilitating.

Taking statins with levothyroxine
I take a statin last thing at night and am thinking of taking my Levo tablet at the same time. Would that cause side effects?? Thanks.

While some drugs –
statins
, for example – are good at preventing heart attacks and strokes, and some at tackling cancer, only aspirin does both, stresses Elwood. One other advantage is its cheapness, itself a result of it being out of patent in most countries.
