Anxiety 1 year after CABG
I am on 1.25mg of bisoporol and
statins
along with Amlodipine. My blood pressure also has become erratic. Sometimes fine and sometimes quite high. At these times my fear is the bypass may have failed. I have gone to A&E a couple of times and ECG and bloods have been okay.

Similar faulty analysis of statin and thyroxine treatment in clinical trials
Malcolm Kendrick's latest blog interested me considerably in that it showed up the close similarities in the incorrect treatment and comment on clinical trials conducted both for
statins
and for thyroxine treatment.

Have I developed "doctor phobia" or what...?!
TBH, it feels like I've done something wrong or immoral or even illegal by going outside the national health care system and opting for alternative treatment prescribed by a practitioner who believes that hormonal imbalances are to blame for many of the conditions mainstream doctors treat with

To take or not to take
Had no checks from Dr.s just given repeat prescriptions and saw Pharmacist who told me it's ok to take
Statins
every other day? As I've been off
Statins
a while now should I just take up where I left off? It takes weeks to get a Dr.s appointment at my GP surgery !!

Coming off statins
A few days ago I was reading a posting from a guy who was going to, or had stopped taking his
statins
because of leg pain and I can't find this posting. Perhaps he could remind me who he is, or PM me?

Normal BP
And no, I’m not going to become vegan, stick to an insect diet or use my
statins
as a burnt offering to the great god Dr Google!

LCHF: what to expect
This may cause your doctor a fit of apoplexy, and he will feverishly write out a prescription for
statins
. I strongly recommend that you don't go down this route.

Update on Cardiac scan results, need a little advice
I was on 80mg
Statins
aspirin(75mg) Rampril/Bisoprolol(both 1:25mg)when I was discharge, now in that time I was taken off all
statins
due to a deranged Liver. Then Bisoprol/rampril due to side effects and low blood pressure. Finally Aspirin.
