Concerned about my sons' futures after atherosclerosis diagnosis
Also suggested that I start
statins
, atarvostatin. Few days later was asked if I wanted to be involved in a study of people that had presented at A&E with chest pain but were not diagnosed with heart failure/disease.

Side effects of Bempedoic Acid
I have high cholesterol and reacted badly to 2
statins
so was given ezetimibe a year ago. This hasn't reduced the cholesterol enough so now started on Bempedoic acid in addition. I read it might also help improve fatty liver, which I also have. Feel very bloated and tired after 2 doses.

Magnesium for RLS
It doesn't help everyone by any means, perhaps partly because some triggers and exacerbators will - as in my experience with
statins
, aspartame and others - overwhelm it. (It doesn't even help my brother).

alendronic problems
just trying to check my stomach ache, dizziness at times, reflux and chest pain are all from alendronic acid, as I take
statins
as well. Feel bloated and lack of appetite. What alternatives are there to increase bone strength? Anyone have these symptoms ?

It Is NOT just Prednisolone
Statins
for liver damage are needed and diuretics for fluid retention plus others all adding to the mix and confusing our bodies. Our bodies are now no longer healing themselves automatically as they were but actually attacking themselves and we need the drugs to counter the effects.

Statin Use and Survival Among Men Receiving Androgen-Ablative Therapies for Advanced PCa: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
"Subgroup analyses identified a PCSM advantage associated with
statins
for men receiving ARATs compared with ADT alone (HR, 0.40 ... vs 0.68 ...)..." NOTE: ARAT = Androgen Receptor Axis-Targeted therapy. PCSM + Prostate Cancer-Specific Mortality.

Terrified 😢 Just looking for shared experiences.
My total cholesterol has gone up to 6.9 (it used to be around 5) and with my family history my GP prescribed
statins
. Then I felt unwell whilst running - suddenly really sweaty, dizzy, sick and I’ve been getting discomfort in my left arm/ shoulder.

Statins and Liver Disease
My understanding however is that
Statins
are good for liver disease as they reduce inflammation, My Gastroenterologist indicated this to me. I have also read and researched a bit on this and am hesitant to get off it. How do you guys feel about
statins
for liver disease? Thanks!

When to take your medication?
Statins
can lower levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol by slowing down its production in the liver, where it is normally produced between midnight and 6am.

Statin Use Is Associated with Better Prognosis of Patients with Prostate Cancer after Definite Therapies:
Statins
, which target liver production, can also prevent PCa cell generation. It seems that a lipophilic statin has the best chance of achieving that. I have been on 40mg Simvastatin for 17 years.

Clopidogrel causing duodenitis?
I've been taking clopidogrel, amlodipine and
statins
for years now. Over the last year or so I have developed inflammation of the duodenum, confirmed by endoscopy. The consultant wrote "duodenitis caused by clopidogrel" on his summary of findings.

Has anyone else stopped taking a daily statin?
However, I'm no fool and I know that
Statins
will definitely reduce the potential risk of plaque building up going forward and blocking my Arteries.

Statins and PBC
have recently been prescribed
statins
. I’ve read that
statins
shouldn’t be taken by anyone with liver disease and wonder if others have experience of this.

Can't get a quote for Holiday Insurance until I specify what the medication I'm taking following Bypass surgery is for.
I tried to explain that I was taking
Statins
but not to lower my Cholesterol as its always been low I'm taking it as it guards against plaque breaking off the Artery walls and it's a proven anti inflammatory. I just gave up on that one. "Yes I'm taking it to lower my Cholesterol!"

High Blood Pressure and prescribed medication
I was told that a prescription would be available from my pharmacy, I said that I couldn’t take
Statins
owing to RLS and was told that’s ok as would be Prescribed Amlopodine.

Complete change over in GPs is causing problems
Yes said she but your age and the fact your female the computer says you need to be on
statins
! (PLEASE GIVE ME STRENGTH). No says I. You will get a heart attack in 20yrs if you don't take them now! Based on what says I. Base on what the computer says she. In 20yrs I will be 86yrs!
