Which is the best hospital in the West Midlands? Urgent!
I'm on the basic drugs, beta blockers, low dose aspirin and
statins
. I am constantly tired and strugle at work (desk job thankfully). On 9th January I received a letter saying I need a coronary angiogram with a view of re-perfusion (stent I guess). And nothing since.

[i]Why Has There Been Controversy About

Still concerned about statins
My cholesterol levels were 364, the doctor put me on
statins
about 2 years ago. I have never had a heart problem and most of you seem to say "you don't really need
statins
if there are no other symptoms of heart strain". I then decided to half my statin intake. I recently just stopped them.

Is increasing my Levothyroxine safe?
Instead he said I should be taking
statins
for my cholesterol which I do not want to do as I've seen how bad their side effects were for my mother. I then asked if I could insist that my dose be increased to 100mcg.

New here
I now read that because I'm on
statins
where grapefruit is forbidden I shouldn't be taking this either. Really sad about this.

Stent at 35 another one due 3yrs later, anyone else have experiences of Heart disease at young age that medication/lifestyle haven’t stopped
I know they says stents don’t change prognosis but it’s all we have as they never found any risk factors or high cholesterol &
statins
don’t seem to be stopping it. Any support or advice would be great.

Statins for women
I'm doing a little more of this scaremongering in the LCHF thread today, and since a fair number of the people here are "on
statins
", I thought it might be of interest. https://healthunlocked.com/lchf-diet/posts/142569664/

Statins - More Good News
It is already well known that
statins
have many benefits. These include the lowering of cholesterol (particularly LDL), stabilisation of existing plaque and reduction of irritation (often a precursor to plaque formation).

Acheing muscles
Hi all, just a statin question, I am starting to get the old muscle aches regularly now which I believe could be an unpleasant side edge t of the
statins
! Does anybody else get these and is there a solution other than reducing dosage or stopping all together which I defintaley don’t want to do!

Holiday insurance
I had a stroke and I am on Apixaban
statins
and perindopril and no Hospital admissions or episodes. Is this a reasonable price or does someone here knows about a better offer?

What if we could prevent strokes?
Since
statins
very reliably reduce total cholesterol, we can infer that they have low cholesterol [i]because[/i] they are taking
statins
. We can further infer that, if you don't take
statins
, your normal TC hovers somewhere around 6mmol/L, plus or minus, at age 70.

J'Accuse: Nutritionists
Not so long ago, we had a consultant cardiac surgeon - whose name completely escapes me - frothing at the mouth and denouncing anti-statin campaigners with the ringing exhortation that
statins
"save lives", and if we stop prescribing them then "people are going to die".

Test results
Had phone appt where she just wanted me to go on
statins
but I don't do tablets unless I really have to. I asked what the Thyroid result was as there could be a connection but she said there was no Thyroid result!!! The nurse had omitted to do the test.

TIA or not TIA that is the question!!!
I am out of hospital now and they have put me on five daily tablets (this was the first time in my life that I have been admitted into hospital and I am 66 years old so I do count myself lucky) The tablets are
statins
, soluble aspirin, blood pressure, etc etc.
