When they measure your cholesterol, do they distinguish between the two or do you get a global number?
Well, you know, we're told we get a high LDL if we eat certain foods.
On the other hand, can you eat foods that will elevate your HDL?
Now the questions are flying in.
This one, I'm a 54-year-old female put on statins for about six years, 10 milligrams, would love to stop, really don't know why I'm on it.
I walk every day and I'm healthy.
Can I give them up?
I don't know.
This question, following on the other one, my cholesterol is now normal, which suggests it was at one time high.
Should I reduce or discontinue statins?
Also, I had normal cardiology investigations for an episode of atrial fibrillation.
Will I be able to wean off beta blockers and blood thinners?
My AFib was related to antibiotic and statin interaction.
I don't know what the resistance to statins, I know people can get joint pain and things like from some statins and then they change to a different one and the side effect vanishes.
But this one, I'm 69, my total cholesterol and LDL a bit high, blood pressure is excellent, how can I reduce LDL without taking statins?
Try that.
My cholesterol is 6.3, but I also have high blood sugars.
I find it hard to eat to address both with fats, etc.
Has Roshan any advice?
I'm 65 and female.
