Hi Peeps My husband has kindly passed on the FH to our daughter (son is fine..) and we saw the lipid specialist at Barts at the beginning of May. She also has low thyroid and we are seeing the endocrinologist also at Barts, next week. So we received the letter from the Cholesterol doc and she is

Maybe Gastritis?
Went back to GP as I thought it may be to do with me starting
Statins
so the GP told to stop taking
Statins
for 1 week. This made no difference so GP said she thinks it could be a gastritis and prescribed 15mg Lansaprazole each morning.

Atorvastatin
But I'm convinced that the
statins
are causing most if the aches and pains. Has anyone had similar issues? Cheers

Starting Digoxin
Started me on meds (apixaban, perindopril, bisoprolol and
statins
). Terrible tiredness and dizziness. They did a cardioversion but it didn't take. Now they're talking about ablation then to try the cardioversion again. In the meantime, they've added Digoxin to the soup.

Statins + Dipyridamole?
Bottom-line: PCa resistance to
statins
can be blocked by Dipyridamole. Might be an important finding. Dipyridamole "is a medication that inhibits blood clot formation" [2].

They have sent me home with the usual drugs of Clopidogrel and aspirin and I was already on
statins
. But they have also given me Trimetazidine. Seems to be for Angina which I don't have. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks :-)

Protein in urine
So i'm wondering,could this be just because of the
statins
or it's just a coincidence that my protein levels skyrocketed in that period of time?
