Post hospital visit
Hi, thanks for those that helped me through the last week. Trip to hospital for 5 days investigations. ECGs and Bloods fine. February 2019 when I had 2 stents fitted to 1 artery I was told I had issues with 2 more arteries with lesions. Turns out each were 60% blocked. I didn't have an angiogram this

Muscle pain
Hi everybody. I’m posting a question for my husband. He gets these strange pains out of the blue. They can be anywhere but mostly in his arms. They’re pretty severe when it happens.

In a conversation with my Family Practicioner who prescribes my atorvastatin, I mentioned a recent study that suggests a positive effect of statins on advanced prostate cancer mortality.

Cholesterol problem and taking Crestor
To Barry1, Your doctor is wrong. All the symptoms you are mentioning with weakness and muscle pain are side effects from Crestor. Statins are too dangerous to take because of all the side effects. I have high cholesterol too, but I refuse any medication for it. Change the way you eat and eat only good

Unsure about specialist
