Normal BP
Come off Bisoprolol at my cardiologists request, because he suspects my normally low BP is contributing to angina (post HA, suspected MVA) I’m now pumping 121 over 80 on 75bpm- near perfect normal. (Was generally around 106/70/65 when all was good, down to 80/50/60 on bad days and it got silly when in

Shoulder Muscle Pain. Statins?
Feeling like both shoulders are pulling with some pretty slight movement. Taking Crestor and Zetia. Does anyone have any recommendations about dealing with the pain? I need the statins as I'm CABG x3 recently. Call is already into cardiologist.

Getting results
Sorry if this is a rely dumb question. I had a load of bloods done last week and a trh test, via an endo appointement. I was told that they would call Monday with the results. No one called and my gp surgery doesn't have the results. How do I get the results, I don't really have any way of talking

Advice Please and thanks!
Looks like I am in range? I don’t understand why I feel so bad still and the last two days have cramps in both my legs from top to bottom. My results are; TSH - 1.250 (0.27-4.2) Free T4 - 15.100 (10.8 - 25.5) Unfortunately these are the only tests my GP will do yearly. I asked for B12 and Vit D he will

Coming off statins
A few days ago I was reading a posting from a guy who was going to, or had stopped taking his statins because of leg pain and I can't find this posting. Perhaps he could remind me who he is, or PM me? The reason for this is that I want to either do the same or reduce my doseage asap, possibly after year

Fizzing Joints
Good Morning. It's a change of weather here in the UK. I have Hashimotos and seem to be getting a flare up in my joints and lots of horrible " fizzing" in my arms and legs, plus the joints in my hands and wrists ( and now feet ) are aching much more than in the summer. Rather like someone has stuck

Update on Cardiac scan results, need a little advice
Hi all, so off I go to get my results from the GP, turns out it's a locum so he has never met me and vice versa. It turns out I am not as bad as they thought I am clear from Coronary AD and plaque which is great news and I have mild LVSD and to come back for a Echo in 12 months. That is all fine for
