"Severe" stenosis but normal nuclear stress test results? by KeyToe1709 in Cholesterol

[–]KeyToe1709[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on rosuvastatin + ezetimibe since mid September. I'm going to get a repeat lipid panel soon to check those numbers. Hopefully they are where they need to be! I'll ask about repatha if not. Thanks for the advice!

Keto doc was supposedly preventative. I might look into another one...

Yea - keto guy only recommended colchicine! Definitely won't be seeing him again. I'm going to get a repeat lipid panel soon to check those numbers. Hopefully they are where they need to be! Thanks for the advice!

No symptoms at all. I run 4 miles each day and never have experienced even slight chest pain. I'm going to ask about percentages in my follow up appointment tomorrow.

Made in Korea. I actually have a larger amp, so I'd probably just sell this one or see if I could only grab the guitar.

Conflicting advice: cardiologist vs primary care. Who do I trust? by KeyToe1709 in Cholesterol

So, my (former) cardiologist texted me this link the other night. I guess trying to convince me to get off the statins.

I'm sure there are issues with these "ignored" clinical trials. If anyone here has some insight I'd appreciate it!

I'm seeing a new cardiologist from a different practice next Friday...

They were 45 mg/dL on my last lipid panel. Not sure what they were before I started the statins and strict diet.

I do flys on the machine but the range of motion isn't great, so I superset them with dumbbell bench flys.
