I managing Angina with justb medicines ever succesful?
I have been prescribed the usual
Statins
, Aspirin, Beta Blocker GTN and this has reduced the attacks to around 1 a day. So my question after that rather long preamble is should I be pushing for a stent or even a bypass asap?

Weight gain on statins
Has anyone gained weight whilst taking Atrovastatin? I started taking it 2 months ago, have been trying to lose weight for the last 6 months but now I've put on 5 lbs and can't shift it. It's a minor issue compared to others I see on here, but I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle. I'd appreciate

I also understand that underactive Thyroid can also be the cause of raised cholesterol and that
statins
can cause side effects in Hypothyroid patients. I intend to ask for my Thyroid to be better managed before commencing any cholesterol treatment.

Statin intolerance
I cannot tolerate
statins
- my cholesterol was always fine even before my triple bypass but after taking my post op medication I found I couldn’t tolerate them either my cardiologist took me off everything apart from aspirin.

Antihypertensive drugs & PCa-specific mortality
However, we were able to adjust the analysis for the use of other drugs which might have impacted on the development and progression of PCa, such as
statins
[34]. Our drug use data is based on reimbursement for drug purchases.

Anemia - Does anyone have anemia/ low: wbc, rbc, hemoglobin, hemocrit and cobalt? &/or high B12 levels? If so, how do you resolved this?
I do take
statins
crestor 20mg, low dose aspirin and vascepa, plus the Lupron of course. Maybe those things affect the aforementioned blood levels? Anybody have any knowledge on this subject? Thanks, George

Will a reduced dose of Thyroxine for under active thyroid affect blood pressure ? I also have inherited high cholesterol and take statins.
Could this be a why my blood pressure is high ?

Metformin protective against PCa in diabetic patients.
We aimed to analyze the chemopreventive role of metformin, in conjunction with other putative chemopreventive medications (
statins
, proton-pump-inhibitors, alpha-blockers, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, diabetic medications) in a population-based cohort study.

Calling for a revolution in the treatment of MPNs?
This might entail, from the earliest stages soon after diagnosis of ET or PV, the use of medications such as Interferon, Janus Kinase inhibitors (eg: Ruxolitinib), even
statins
, rather than (for example) Aspirin and Hydroxycarbamide/Hydroxyurea.

Meds problem update
At first I was advised not to do this, but have since been told it is okay, but I do need to consider
statins
. Just over 4 weeks in and the nerve pain is increasing to intolerable levels.

Post hospital visit
I am now on isorsobide, Ranolazine and bisoprolol as well as my normal ramipril, aspirin and
statins
. My confusion is with the way forward. Angina and the way it came on me in a short measured space of time says to me that there has been more narrowing of the arteries.
