I’m confused
So I posted before last year as had been having chest pain and pain in my left shoulder and arm which woke me from sleep on several occasions. I was referred to chest pain clinic at local hospital and tests and scans has revealed a considerable blockage in LAD. I went for angioplasty and they concluded

A Few Words About Atherosclerosis And A Potential Remedy
The main cause of death in the world is cardiovascular disease (CVD) and Atherosclerosis is considered a main cause of CVD. I have previously written about the use of melatonin to prevent or treat CVD here: https://healthunlocked.com/cure-parkinsons/posts/145548262/cardiovascular-disease-cvd-parkinsons-disease-pd-and-melatonin

Post cabg.2- 16wk recovery review
I recovered well, no issues, but my cardio was very slow, and this annoyed me because pre op i was quite fit.I didn't want the op and didn't believe i needed it.Plus i was scared.The surgeon wanted a four way and i definitely wasn't having that.I said i don't want it to to fail, not two years in or ten

My reaction to Crestor & Nubeqa combo. I need to make some adjustments. This study says simvastatin is best against APC. Your thoughts?
Based on these studies, do you think it's best to use simvastatin as your choice of statins? I'm using Crestor 5 mg plus 5mg Zetia and my ldl has gone down to a level, which puts me at risk of infection. Plus, my brain isnt functioning nearly as well as it used to. My current ldl is 27. This probably

Are statins essential if you are suffering from AF and/or past strokes? And how much is 'good'?
Just seeking some views on what constitutes the 'correct' level of statins to take in various situations. I have been taking 10 mg of simvastatine for six months and found this is no problem for me and it has marginally reduced what was a very low LDL cholesterol level in the first place. But my doctor

I have had several episodes of chest pain and palpitations. I take statins and now 50gms of Losartin for hypertension.

How long trouble-free?
I had NSTEMI in March 2022 (identified through raised troponin of 42). It was completely unexpected. Except for high cholesterol (Total 6.9, LDL 4.9, HDL 1.3,), none of the risk factors were applicable. There were no symptoms until one day I experienced pain on exertion. I was referred to a cardiologist

Statins and blood pressure meds
Originally joined the thyroid group and just joined the heart group probably a bit previous (hopefully) as I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The thyroid group are very anti statins believing that if the thyroxine dose is correct cholesterol will automatically lower. Doctor sending me

Statins and blood pressure meds
Just had an ecg at doctors that apparently needs to be repeated along with a referral for a heart scan. I have had statins prescribed the last two years or so and have never been keen to take them considering the advice on this forum. Doctor insistent that I start them again along with blood pressure

statins and high blood sugar
Hello. My husband has been taking 80mg Atorvastatin for a year now. After his yearly mot he’s been told his blood sugar is high, not diabetic but high. He was in hospital for 12 weeks this time last year and he was checked daily with a finger prick and perfect. I’m not sure what could have happened

Not shocked in the least
I'm a 66 year old retire male who found out about fatty liver from an abdominal ultrasound for a completely different issue. Credit to my PCP for noticing and referring me to a heptalogist. Liver enzymes elevated but with an AST/ALT ratio always well under one. Other than little bit of RUQ pain

statin obsessed GP
of all my problems AF. hip replacement. Arthritis .macular oedema. All diagnosed and treated privately , my useless G P phones to increase my statins ! Cholesterol 5.6. Yes a bit high but has never mentioned or asked about my general health. I am convinced they are on a bonus scheme for prescribing

As most of you can relate to, I have given up so much in my life due to RLS. Every possible RLS trigger is in fact a trigger for me. I have given up HRT, SSRIs, statins, caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods (I used to put fresh jalapeno peppers on EVERYTHING), sugar, all processed foods, most carbs, and the
