help to understand
Last year I was out on
statins
also and I lost 2stone in about 6 weeks, only half stone was intentional. I then had tests, found gallstones but surgeons don’t want to touch as might cause greater problems. I was then advised from being underactive I was not overactive.

statins and high blood sugar
Hello. My husband has been taking 80mg Atorvastatin for a year now. After his yearly mot he’s been told his blood sugar is high, not diabetic but high. He was in hospital for 12 weeks this time last year and he was checked daily with a finger prick and perfect. I’m not sure what could have happened

Statins and Fatty Liver
Can anyone give me some advice. I’ve been put on a statin for my cholesterol. My G.P then said we will do a blood test in two months to make sure it’s not effecting my liver. As someone with fatty liver (unsure if I still have it) and lots of health anxiety around my liver I’m worried.

statins
may help reduce the risk of stroke in people who have atrial fibrillation. This is an interesting article with implications for those with Afib.

There is lots of info on internet about cholesterol injections instead of
statins
, but they all seem to have side effects as well!

The advice I gave was based on my husband's experience with
statins
and I thought it would have. been very useful to the person who posted the question. I'm just wondering, who moderates this? Thanks for enlightening me!

STATINS
Hi Can I please ask, if anybody takes a K2 vitamin and
statins
? I ask as i've been led to believe that K2 vitamin directly moves the calcium directly into the bones and not straight into the arteries. I've also read that if you take
statins
with this vitamin it stops it from doing this task??

v=0MSNUjQt0u0 I find it fascinating that doctors are aware that
statins
don't work on dialysis patients, even the KDIGO guidelines say not to prescribe them, and yet doctors still will go ahead and lower LDL using
statins
. I know I am on one ...

Just told my ejection fraction is 45%, GP put me on
statins
and awaiting appointment with consultant cardiologist. No symptoms other than occasional mild chest pains after exercise. No idea what to expect now, just wondered if anyone here can give me an insight of what's next.

Statins - get informed and know the risks
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/
statins
/considerations/ For me personally the issue is people are frequently already being treated with
statins
long before a diagnosis of hypothyroidism has ever been made.

Cholesterol rising?
If it is then - given it is a natural consequence -
statins
seems to be the ONLY answer. Is that correct? I also read that
statins
can reverse arterial plaque - is that correct?
