Tests tests tests!
All the blood tests picked up the fact that I had extremely high cholesterol so after 8 weeks on
statins
that has reduced from a shocking 10 to 5.3. They also found I have high blood pressure so on medication for that.

I had the Holter fitted because I'd been experiencing palpitations and skipped beats; this has settled down now and I think may have been largely stress-related.I was diagnosed with non-obstructive CAD back in 2018 and take
statins
etc.

Cholesterol amazement!
However I've just had the results from my first blood test since I've been on
statins
and I'm very pleased with the outcome- on 22nd April my total cholesterol was a shocking 10 but today it's down to 5.3! I'm amazed! Clearly the atorvastatin is working.

Vitamin K2 with meds
Any experts on vitamins know much about the connection between taking
statins
(atorvastatin) asperin and vitamin K2 . The more you read the more complex it gets.

Update on my arm misbehaving in the pool
However the doc said he did think that I’d had a TIA, and he has changed me from Rivaroxaban 20 mg to Edoxaban 30mg, and also changed my
statins
and BP meds (BP sky high) in the hope that it doesn’t happen again. At least I know now, he said it was just bad luck, so will just get on with things.
