cirrhosis and statins
I’ve not asked for help on here before and would really appreciate any advice. I have alcoholic cirrhosis and am being recommended statins for cholesterol by my practice nurse. I’m a 57 year old UK male. The information sheet from the nurse session warns not to take statins if you have cirrhosis. I’m

Bisopropol and amlodipine maybe too much meds? causing more pain in angina.

Oh well, it was inevitable I suppose!
Regular medical check-up revealed hypertension and chronic kidney disease (ckd). I’m 68 and otherwise well. GP is treating the hypertension (which he deems to be the root cause of the cdk) with Losartan and Atorvastatin. Both of these are long term treatments though I suppose ‘long term’is a relative

I suffered a heart attack in July last year, otherwise healthy, non smoker and non drinker. Was told that it could be inherited cholesterol but no investigations. Paternal grandmother died of heart attack at 49, my dad had mini stroke at 53 then a heart attack at 68. A cardiac nurse suggested that

Drinking alcohol
I'm going on a cruise and my other half wants to get the drinks package.But I suffer from microvascular angina and had a stent fitted 4 years ago. I'm on heart meds/statins. My question is should I be drinking for 14 days . I do drink but about once a week . To break even I would have to have at least

Advice on statins and vascular atheroma please
Story so far.... Had a recent hospitalisation in Cyprus for a problem unconnected to the thyroid (acute diverticular episode after 30 years of no major issues) which resulted in me having to have a CT scan when I returned from holiday. The scan was OK on the original issue, nothing sinister revealed

Shaking Body & Cold Clammy Hands
Hi all Fortunately my AF episodes are few & far between 🤞, therefore I just take Flecainide as PIP when it kicks off, which it did at 1am this morning. I got up to go to the loo & when I got back to bed I couldn’t stop shaking, I was so cold, then the AF started. My question is does anyone suffer

reducing atorvastatin
thanks you for all your replies, really useful hearing other people's experience. I can't get a Drs appt for three weeks, so think I will take the statin every other day until then. Missing sleep is affecting other areas of my overall health. My cholesterol is only 3.5, but I do have serious plaque and
