Post Bypass Cholesterol check
I have been on 20mg of statins since about a month before my CABG in March. The cardiac rehab nurse suggested that I should be on a higher dose, such as 80mg. She wanted to be sure and I had a fasting blood test a week ago. My cholestorol is now down from 6.7 to 3.4 and at an acceptable level. I

Mistake in my notes
I now have jsut discovered that in the comments part of my report it says cabg x4 which mean quadrouple bypass this is a complete nonsense unless you can do a quadrouple bypass when inserting a pacemaker in my shoulder. the only other surgery is a gall bladder removal

Waiting times for a CABG
Hi Would anyone know whether the NHS has set targets for heart bypass surgery? Researching online there appears to be guidelines for non-urgent elective surgery giving examples of cataract and hip replacement surgeries which should be conducted within an 18 week period. I also read on an NHS website

Antibodies increasing in spite of dietary changes
I've had my bloods tested before going to see a specialist next week. One thing that surprised me is that my antibodies have gone up: TGA: was 234, now 353. TPA: was 33, now 34.8. I was just wondering if anyone had an idea why this might have happened? I've gone strictly gluten free. I'm also on next
