Statins
Hi I’m a fit 57 year old (lots of cycling) mild hypertensive , BP medicated and under control . BMI 21.6 only 10 stone ,Cholesterol 5.9 , Q risk 11.6 %. Doc wants me to take statins , my father had heart attack at 7O . On the surface seems like a silver bullet to ensure the same doesn’t happen to me

Medication reactions Diltiazem, statins, Bisoprolol and now something else?
Hi. Since STEMI end of last year, 2 stents and micro vascular angina diagnosis I have had the usual range/combinations of meds. My concern is that just when I think I might be getting things under control one of the meds will cause a problem - even after being on it a few months with no issues - and

Statins and leg cramps/ pain
I was put on 80mg Atorvastatin after having Angioplasty but because of severe leg cramps and discomfort, after 8 months I have been prescribed 40mg of Simvastatin statins. I am now getting a lot of discomfort in my legs at night, sometimes a kind of burning sensation and aches. Has anyone tried another

Angiogram clear, what next? Microvascular?
Firstly thank you to everyone who responded to my last post regarding going for my angiogram on Monday, all your input helped! I did question beforehand if I needed the procedure which was interpreted as a 'reluctance' to have it done and spoke to 2 consultants about it along with a nurse! Anyway, after

Fatty Liver Diet
I need some help with my diet. I don’t need to lose weight. I’m 5’ 4’’ and 125 lbs. My fatty liver, I believe is caused by my high cholesterol and LPa lipids (mild CAD). I’m on 2 statins which control it fairly well. I have fatigue, a little too much fat around my middle and sometimes get mild pain

A bit surprised
Today I had my first consultation with my Cardiologist 17 weeks since my HA . I will add it was a phone call consultation and he was a hour late in calling . I have been very lucky and I am nearly back to full fitness but to my surprise he had doubled my dosage of both Ramipril ( from 2.5 Mg to 5MG )

AF and Statins
So an interesting debate over lunch with my youngest doctor daughter and her doctor boyfriend about to statin or not to statin. I don’t appear to have any plumbing problems just electrical with the heart. 66 in November and touch wood apart from migraine auras and the AFib, appear to be in good health

Things are settling down...
Morning all, after over four months of seeing various specialists talking to my GP (note not face to face because of Covid) and ten visits to A&E the medicos seem to have agreed what is the problem. The original angina diagnosis was shown to be false as a later CTCA scan showed my arteries were pretty

Crippled by Statins.
Heart attack in June 2020, on Atorvastain and other brands, now neuropathy muscle pain, can hardly walk. GP says stay on them or suffer another heart attack, but I have stopped taking them as my life is unbearable. Will pay anything for alternative. Can anyone help. I am male and 80.

Help! Trepidation setting in…
Having not run since I was 11 years old (I remember that day well….) I have decided that I need to get off of my bottom and take my health more seriously. Having largely ignored insulin dependent diabetes since my diagnosis, due to the fact that I am invincible, having slowly and blatantly increased

Slowly but slowly they are catching up
This new paper discusses the power of FT4 testing against TSH and finds FT4 better. That's at least a small step forward in that it challenges TSH-is-all thinking in therapy. The authors haven't yet caught up as regards using FT3 measurement as well, but even a small step forward is good. Hennessey is
