Red Rice Yeast
My cardiologist recommended taking red rice yeast as I think it was one of those products he’s getting a commission for. My cholesterol is just over the limit but I am reading that red rice yeast can have side effects like statins. Natures best won’t sell it as they say you can’t guarantee an accurate

Statin and liver damage?
I came online to see if anyone had odd liver tests from statins. Specifically atorvastatin. I had to go for an abdominal scan today and had a lot of blood tests, I’m on 40 mg of atorvastatin. And have been on them for nearly a year since I found out I had HD and had a stent last summer. I only had LFT

Urine Flow
Not the greatest of questions, has anyone had reduced urine flow while on basic heart meds [ statins, Ramipril, bisoprolol, aspirin etc ] and being a man of 63 I have just had my prostrate cancer tests, { neg }. I have really noticed a reduction in the flow power not the amount as I’m on co-amilofruse

Down Day
Having a down day, guessing everyone has them. Had quite a painful episode of angina yesterday. Was an hour late taking the Isorobide Mononitrate and the angina kicked in as I nipped to the loo and back. This is the thing that’s keeping me going. I felt really sick with the episode. But had taken the

Menopause & cholesterol
Hello I am new here but would like to know if any of you ladies had elevated cholesterol levels going through the menopause, and if taking oestrogen helped lower your cholesterol? My levels have gone up to 8.3 I’m reluctant to take statins and am considering the new transdermal HRT. Just wondered if

Tooth Extraction
I have a broken tooth that needs extraction, problem is that I had a HA in Dec 20 and two stents in LAD. Now on blood thinners and beta blockers and statins for at least one year. Has anyone had had a tooth extracted whilst on these tablets?

Statins
Hi, I have low thyroid and when first diagnosed my cholesterol was very high. Since being on thyroxine my cholesterol returned to a normal level even when I stopped taking statins It is now very high again. Having missed blood checks during the pandemic I feel my tsh may be high again. I have agreed

Coronary vasospasm - palpitations at night
I was diagnosed with coronary vasospasm in hospital following a cardiac arrest at home in January this year. I was put on lots of medication including statins, calcium channel blocker, nitrates, aspirin etc. I had been doing well since February with no real symptoms but woke up last night with palpitations

Rituximab and statins - a good combo?
Morning Peeps 🙂 I am having my first Rituximab infusion 24th May. I have high cholesterol and have booked an appointment for a phone consultation with my GP today. I think it's about time I went on statins to reduce my high cholesterol. We have discussed it before, some time back, but she was reluctant

An interesting & informative talk
I’ve been listening to some of the lectures given this weekend by various doctors at the Public Health Collaboration Virtual Conference. The most interesting one for me was ‘Why Your Doctor is Wrong About Statins & Fat’. For anybody taking or considering taking statins, it’s well worth watching: https

On the 11th April I suddenly had double vision. I have read that statins can cause this. Has anybody else suffered

Hypo with worsening cholesterol and kidney function
Hi, 1month on levo so far at 25mcg and think I will need an increase at my next NHS review. My cholesterol and kidney function results are heading in the wrong direction, despite doing exercise and eating healthier with plenty of water. Has anyone had success improving these while hypo and without statins

Should I take BP meds?
My blood pressure puzzles me, I'd be grateful for advice. I brought my home monitor into the room I was sitting in and took my bp about half an hour later, it was 158/85. I didn't panic, did about a minute of deep breaths then took it again 3 times, readings were 120/72 then 116/70 and finally 114/69

Recurring intermittent chest pains after NSTEMI heart attack
Hi. I am looking for some advice. I had an NSTEMI in December last year followed by 2 stents in my right coronary artery and a third blockage in the left was treated with an angioplasty. I am now on a selection of drugs including antiplatlet, blood pressure, statins, beta blockers, and angina drugs.

Statins side effects
I have osteoarthritis mainly affecting my neck and shoulders. I've recently been prescribed statins which have made the pain a lot worse. My doctor has tried different ones, which hasn't helped. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.
