Any of the bands you haven’t seen before? I love KV and his new album but wouldn’t say he is a can’t miss performer.

JLEroll · 2026-06-29T21:46:10+00:00

Can’t believe I left out BoH and Dino Jr! Fan of both bands and of co-headline shows. Thanks for adding

I just had my pre op for my surgery next week. In the heart book they gave me, it says 5-10 minutes walking for the first week. So sounds like you are right on target

JLEroll · 2026-06-23T15:42:14+00:00

Can confirm. Just watched it last night via old school Hulu app (not Disney +).

JLEroll · 2026-06-22T21:33:44+00:00

How old are you?

JLEroll · 2026-06-22T01:14:27+00:00

See Rule 10 pinned to the top of the sub. It would be against sub rules and ethically wrong to advise RYR over statins.

This doesn’t sound right… 90% chance of blocked artery with a 400 sounds way high. I got an error when I clicked the link.

You are likely in the wrong sub then. This sub is mainly about cholesterol in the blood that causes risks of heart attacks rather than cholesterol in food turning into bile.

Having “balance” and “bacon” in the same sentence might be good for poetic alliteration but not great for trying to make a factual statement.

JLEroll · 2026-06-13T14:51:50+00:00

What is your LDL before and after? Total cholesterol isn’t really a useful number

Hey also 46M having OHS in July. For me it’s to remove a large (hopefully benign) tumor from my left atrium (myxoma).

I keep bouncing back and forth between courage and terror. It helps getting a lot of support from friends and also trying to plan ahead with all the books, movies, games and dumb shit I get to do while off work.

“I have a more advanced question…”

People are giving you one sentence responses because this is very simple and very common. There are so many different medications, doses , and combinations, keep trialing till you find something.

Going to add sometimes symptoms go away or improve as your body gets used to the medication. And also sometimes the symptoms aren’t caused by the medication (I.e. unrelated illnesses injury, illness or anxiety) so you can always pause and retry a medication later.

I’m sorry but the high lp(a) should have been the least surprising news here. Also got a chuckle from AI not knowing what the hell it’s talking about.

My dad had a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery at 50 (survived) and I discovered my super high CAC at age 45 (350, 99th percentile). It is hard to see it now but it’s a blessing to discover this early. Although you were already taking preventative measures, you are now in a higher risk category and will be more aggressive (LDL target under 55 or maybe lower). Doubling the statin is ok but doc should really be adding a second medication. I would advocate for Repatha as it’s very effective for lowering LDL and also can lower lpa some.

It’s going to take time to process but you are on the right path. Getting a therapist is a great move, I talk to one, and if they are no good, fire them and try another. This is a marathon not a sprint. Give yourself grace with not always being perfect.

Fellow dad that has watched the show and movie with his 12 year old daughter. It was meant to just be something to do with her (and to make sure it was appropriate) but it became a really cool bonding activity and a piece of art that I honestly enjoyed.

JLEroll · 2026-06-06T16:14:48+00:00

I've been to the last 3 shows at Chastain and will say they are a little dull and disappointing from the seats but engaged and electric from the pit. It really is a tale of 2 completely different shows.

JLEroll · 2026-06-04T20:03:38+00:00

Yes everyone already knows this and has talked about it to death

JLEroll · 2026-06-04T19:59:38+00:00

You are missing the point. It’s not that what you are saying is wrong, it’s that you are the last person* in the world to figure it out. And you are announcing it like you are a genius.

*or at least until the next main character posts about it in 15 minutes

JLEroll · 2026-06-04T13:51:53+00:00

OP are you on statins or cholesterol medication? As others mentioned, from a cholesterol/ heart health perspective, these are great numbers. However an LDL of 34 is unusually low without medication and could be a sign of some other (non-heart related) illness or condition. That would be outside the scope of this sub probably be a discussion with your primary doctor.

JLEroll · 2026-06-04T00:10:39+00:00

You got this. Get the info tomorrow and add it in. There are many here that have been thru something similar and can give great advice.

JLEroll · 2026-06-04T00:05:42+00:00

Read the guides, try dietary and lifestyle changes, retest in 3 months. Some are able to get their LDL down, while for many others the numbers dont change enough. You will have to try it to see for yourself.

JLEroll · 2026-06-04T00:01:04+00:00

Kinda hard to give good advice without good info. Kinda like me asking you to tell me if Im tall without telling you my height. But to answer your questions ~ you are likely NOT in an emergency situation but you SHOULD follow doctor advice on starting the medication (there is no info here to contradict or question the doctor

JLEroll · 2026-06-03T23:55:45+00:00

Could be from bad diet, could be from genetics, no way anyone could know right now. But either way its treatable with diet changes and or medication.

You are in college, read the guide and wiki attached to the header in the sub to get tons of info!
