Statins and AF
Today i had an appointment with the nurse regarding a pre diabetes chat as I was on the borderline with score of 42. She was encouraging me to take a statin as my cholesterol was 5.2 to help prevent stroke and heart attack but I thought Apixaban would help prevent stroke. I wasn’t keen so she has made

HINTS
what seems to work for me 1.solotalol 2. steroids 3. cyclophosamide 4. plaquinel . But we are all different and we all have different versions of lupus. Mine came with shrinking lung syndrome, AF and RA- so don't do anything without your doctors approval. Also Actonal and Megafol. as well as Calcium

Ace Inhibitors and Statins
Hi everyone, I need some advice please. I was called in to see my gp yesterday for the result of my blood test, CKD 3a. My Triglycerides are 2.4, high. He has put me on ace inhibitors with a blood test in 2 weeks as he said I am at risk of cardiovascular disease and will have to go on statins later.

Queasy
Hi all, presently on apixaban, digoxin, adizam, and statins recently had a two lead pacemaker. 13 years open heart surgery for a mitral valve repair. My GP a few weeks ago gave frusemide, now feeling queasy, and a horrid taste in mouth. I have stopped frusemide today , my thinking is that’s the problem

Low serum free thyroxine level is correlated with lipid profile in depressive patients with suicide attempt
I really don't know what to say about this abstract. Unless I am getting it entirely wrong, don't total cholesterol and triglycerides tend to [u]rise [/u]with low FT4? Anyway, it has certainly previously been reported that it is vital to consider the possibility of statins causing or worsening depression
