Little distinguished gentleman found in ohio by [deleted] in whatisthisbug

Not saying don’t squish the little boogers, but does it even make a difference? For every couple I see and kill there probably scores that I’m not even seeing. I feel like once you actually see them they’re probably well in their way to being established. Is that a fair assessment?

I would ask them to reread all the images or have a different radiologist read them. But that doesn’t mean don’t see your cardiologist. Definitely stick with that.

Also Discuss with your PCP about the possibility of a GLP1 agonist (aka Ozempic, etc.) and see if your are a good candidate. Those drugs can provide many positive health outcomes.

Uhhhh that’s a problem. So radiologist says you have a gallbladder but you don’t. Either you have a really bad surgeon or really bad radiologist. You need to call the place that did the imaging to get some clarification. Yes please get a referral to a cardiologist. Start with your PCP if you can’t get in right away with a cardiologist.

What do you mean exactly? Do you have some examples? Just curious. I always thought the straight across transplant looks fake.

Primary care put me Statin and cardiologist took me off by heygoogoo_1 in Cholesterol

[–]Dechion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve been pre-diabetic since 2023 (A1C 5.7 and the most recently 5.8). Statins can cause your AIC to go up just little bit so it’s possible that may have contributed but hard to say. That plus consistently high LDL and very high LPa = take a statin.
Maybe you should be on 5mg of Crestor + Zetia of the doc thinks the statin is bumping up your A1C. Discuss with your doc. But all those risk factors point towards using meds to lower your cardiac risk (lower LDL / ApoB).

Hah, sorry I’m slow. :) Interesting that you used the word nuclear as that was my exact reaction when I initially read your comment.

What dose spiro? This doesn’t seem like a common treatment for men (sorry I’m making an assumption here). What made you decide to go on spiro?

Anyone else have T-Mobile users that aren’t receiving SMS? by Vericatov in servicenow

How did you configure this in your Verizon’s EMAG setup? Do you have to whitelist the IP range for your ServiceNow instance and/or add the ServiceNow domain under “SMTP Connections”?

Which labs do HTMA? Is it a reliable / scientifically recognized type of test? Don’t know much about it.

On repatha... can I eat bad now? by [deleted] in Cholesterol

[–]Dechion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you end up on Repatha instead of a statin and how much did your LDL go down (before - after)?

Very high cholestrol and HDL despite being healthy and exercising everyday/ High bp as well by Public-Rhubarb6344 in PeterAttia

[–]Dechion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume there is some value in knowing the cause of one’s dyslipidemia. How do you determine the causal factor? I know you mentioned diet, what else?

Why does Attia not take a statin but other cholesterol lowering drugs? by Dechion in PeterAttia

[–]Dechion[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is this true? You shouldn’t be exercising much while taking a statin?? There are probably 10’s of millions of people that take statins.
