New, first diagnosed back in 2005
Want to know more about taking levo, anti depressants and
statins
together. I've never been on a statin drug before. I believe I had a very bad reaction so I stopped taking it. Trying to work through a mental block to go back to the doc. Had some BAD experiences with healthcare people here.

Blood tests private
I suffer with high cholesterol as well and fed up with being told to go on
statins
! Also suffering with stomach problems due to H-pylori, being on antibiotics retesting for it today. Another reason I would like a comprehensive test done. Thank you

How can they say it’s cirrhosis?
So, just to re-cap: - Dad is 74 and is a light to moderate drinker (12-17 units a week) - He doesn’t take any meds except
statins
- He is slim and runs 15 miles a week (and did so three weeks back). - Dad wasn’t in pain but felt slightly ‘yukky’ - mainly if he overate. No real pain, no sickness.

Levothyroxine and Atorvastatin
How important are the
statins
? I'd be grateful if anyone can explain it to me. Thank you.

Praluent injections
I’ve just started Praluent injections as I’m intolerant to
statins
! After 1st injection I have chest tightness and intermittent breathlessness. I had the same with
statins
. Has anyone else had similar effects?

Statins
Taking
statins
prophylactically and not had a heart attack? Extra lifespan 3 days. (All statistics referenced by Dr. Kendrick). Do you prefer Professor Rory Collins' and his take? Look up how much he is in the pocket of big pharma and the 'research' grants he's enjoyed.

Low iron high cholesterol
My cholesterol is very high after taking 40 mgs of
statins
a day. Just found out my iron is low. I have googled a few things about it but haven't found out much.

Statins and general update!
I am thinking it is high, they don't want to tell me, and they want me in to discuss putting me on
statins
! (I really am not keen). I did have 7+ reading prior to ski accident and got down to 11 stone 4 and 5+ cholesterol.

I cannot tolerate the pain that
statins
cause and my cholesterol has gone up since I have been off Lipitor.

My cholesterol results
I was put on 40mg
statins
in may 2018 after the shock of a 99%blockage in my LAD and the usual stent procedure that then followed. I disagreed with taking
statins
and dropped my cholesterol from 5.2 to 4.3 with diet alone in 4weeks...Sadly I was pushed to go on them by cardiologist.

Cholesterol Results
my question is that I've noticed my triglycerides level says Above average..I'm a bit surprised by that one bearing in mind I've been on 40mg
statins
since last May. And before I started taking
statins
I had got them down already by diet.. Is there something to worry about here?

statins
and aspirins, tried renaxa did not agree with me at all.

New Test Results (feedback please) and Mixed Endo Results (US)
Endo did test fT3 and tends to treat to symptoms, didn't try to put me on
statins
for slightly elevated cholesterol (first time that has popped up, they indicated it should come back into range with proper thyroid).

So confused
very mild build up in 2 small arteries the only reason they gave me the scan was because I pushed for it, Drs kept telling me my chest pain which i get every day, was anxiety, even after the diagnosis they said the amount of build up didn't warrant how much pain I was getting, I was given aspirin,
