Ezetimibe
I have recently been prescribed Ezetimibe 10mgs along with other drugs following my quadruple bypass. I seem to be getting pains in my legs and am wondering if this is the effect of this drug. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Ezetemibe side affects
Hi all. Has anyone been on Ezetemibe for cholesterol? I've been on it for 3 weeks and I'm feeling dreadful. Very low mood on verge of tears all the time. My chest aches as do my shoulders and one foot. I can't take statins so they're trying me on this. My cholesterol was 6 total and it's come down to

High, rising Lp(a) and CAC but low LDL
I seem to be falling between the cracks of NHS care. My LDL has never been a problem, but I have calcified arteries. Then, just six months ago I discovered I had significantly elevated LP(a). The nasty twin brother of LDL that likes to stick in your arteries. So I was prescribed 10 mg Ezetimibe

Having a STEMI in mid 40's...the search for underlying causes / answers for premature CHD.
Hi Everyone, My husband had a major STEMI in March 2023 with a full blockage of his circumflex artery. He was 44 years old and playing 5-a-side football in a local sports centre when he collapsed without warning. Thank goodness it happened there of all places however, as the swift actions of his team

Atorvastatin diabetes
Hi, has anyone developed new onset diabetes or prediabetes on atorvastatin? If so how soon did it show up and did changing the statin help at all? Am already on ezetimibe. Seeing GP next week and not sure what I should be asking for. Any advice gratefully received.

Stopping PPI?
Hello everyone, I'm approaching a year post Nstemi with one stent and thus the end of ticagrelor hourray! What I am wondering is if I am then down to aspirin as the only blood thinner (plus ezetimibe and atorvastatin long term but hopefully not much longer on bisoprolol and ramipril ) do I still need

Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe
Greetings, Currently on 20mg of Rosuvastatin and discussing with my cardiologist about reducing the statin and adding ezetimibe to achieve my target LDL of 50 but with a lower dose of statin. I work out a lot and do get a lot of muscle spasms..etc. I'm not sure it's the statin, but if I can achieve

Haven’t posted here in a while. I don’t know how to ask my GP about starting a statin as a preventive or even if it’s right.
. So tomorrow I have a GP appointment in person I’m from the UK so this is rare😂. So I’m 22, man, quite overweight, don’t smoke, don’t drink. Known disease hypothyroidism which I know does increase Lp(a) level’s especially how high mines been. But anyhow I sufffer with symptoms that seem heart related

Low statin dose increased lipoprotein a significantly
I have elevated lipoprotein a [lp(a)] and elevated cholesterol levels, am 70 years old and have a coronary artery calcium [CAC] score of 0 (or did before I started statins a short while ago). I just learned about the lp(a) level around 18 months ago. I started a 5 mg dose of simvastatin 15 months
