High cholesterol
Hi all, I am due to receive cholesterol results over the phone tomorrow and I would like to be prepared. I am a 37 year old female and I know that the familial high cholesterol is in my family, however, I had a cholesterol test about 10 years ago ‘prior to diagnosis’ and it was a healthy 3. However

Statins
My recent blood tests put me at a slightly higher risk of heart disease at 15%. In the UK my doctor is advising prescribing me statins. I have heard that there are natural options which may have less side effects. Can I ask advice from any guys who have to take them? Thanks.

Re; Statin
Following an audio call with my GP I am now off the statins (Atorvastatin) for a month. Hopefully no more leg pains. Follow up to see how to go forward. Fingers crossed 🤞

Statins Heart Attack
I was on astrovastation 80mg and have changed to Rosuvastatin 40mg. Is anyone who has had a heart attack on less dosage than these? GP said I need to be on this dosage as prevention? Overall cholesterol is 2.6.

Slight swelling and pain in right hand one week post angiogram procedure. Should I be worried?
My procedure went well and I didn’t require a stent which is good news. I’m only needing to take statins. However 5 days post procedure I noticed the swelling on my forearm just above wrist ( opposite side of wrist to the wound site which is healing well). I did rest it post procedure followed all guidance

Long running saga which sorry for expletives in advance is really getting on my TITS now. You know that feeling when you begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel and some bastard pinches the bulb or forgets to put money in the meter. So I haven' felt 100% for years but you know how women

Statins Yes or No
Hi, I can only speak for myself and tell u what I was told as I have no medical knowledge. I have been on Statins since my HA nearly 4 yrs ago and I too get aches and pains in legs and arms. I believe statins keep the cholesterol down? I’m not sure you can or should come off of them? Your Dr will help

Statins
Just had my recent blood results and all are good with no action required. It’s been two and half years since my HA,Stent and followed by triple bypass and I have been on statins one type or another since then. Despite not having high cholesterol (currently 4.3) I have had increasingly painful legs especially

Another Medichecks set of results for your expertise please as my brain fog can't make sense of them.
My TSH results through my GP swing from 0.03 mu/L to 8 mu/L over the years and back. In November 21 result was 0.0 mu/L and I was on 150/125 Levothyroxine alternate days. GP decided I should reduce dosage and put me down to 125 mg and retested in January when it came back as 0.1 mu/L so reduced me again

My cholesterol has been very high due to the condition but I have been taking statins and it has dropped from 10.5
