Post heart attack
Hello again, I posted on here a few months back regarding my husbands palpitations. Things have moved on a bit since then , he has been having random chest pain and saw the doctor, he reassured him that the pain was most likely muscle strain … not sure about that . He had recent blood tests as he is

Cholesterol
Where can I find reliable information regarding cholesterol levels. I am in the US and cardio specialist who is also a lipid specialist is confused due to so much conflicting info for people with PBC and cholesterol. My LDL is high, so is my HDL and my Triglycerides are normal. I don't have any heart

Today I had to ring GP for chest infection which has curtailed my activities for the past week and shows no sign of improving.

Hypothyroid for 18 years. Discovered high cholesterol recently. Can I start using plant sterols alongside Thyroxine??
Also have tried increasing thyroxine (temporarily) for 3 months, to see if cholesterol results come down. They have come down from 8.9 to 7.5 in that 3 months. Not low enough I know, but it has reduced it. Trying my best not to be put on statins if I possibly can, or BP meds. Has anyone tried Plant

PMR and statins
My hubby is the PMR sufferer and is five years in. He has had many ups and downs in that time but for the last four weeks he had come off Prednisolone altogether. He was then put on statins, and every week for the last three he has had a flare, not sure if it’s coming off them, even though he has come

Statins
I had 2 HA in 2021. I have been on the usual medication since. I ended up with severe EF and now have an ICD. Recent blood tests have shown I have a lowered blood platelet. I am booked in with my GP on 15//2 but am concerned what is causing this. I have read it could be Statins. Is there anyone out there

Blood tests
Hello, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis over 20 years ago. I therefore have regular blood tests to check that the medications I take are not negatively impacting me. In November last year I had an abnormal blood test result at hospital (ALT was 88, other liver tests were in range). I was told

Reducing cholesterol
I’ve been told that because of the stricter diagnostic parameters the NHS now uses for assessing cholesterol levels in the blood, I have very slightly raised cholesterol. I’ve been told I can have statins, which I agreed to take, with much regret, because they are powerful drugs and I’m already taking

Anyone successful at reducing cholesterol levels without statins?
I’ve been offered statins as a few weeks ago my cholesterol was up to that magic number plus age 70 where they get recommended. I suggested to cardio team and GP that this may be due to a bit of over indulgence over Christmas period so it’s agreed I’ll re-test in a few months. I have eaten mainly plant
