Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hi I am new here, first post. So I just came back from doctor's office and got some results of some tests we did. Did bunch of heart tests, 24hr holter, stress test, echo,ekg. All these test did not show any detectable or " significant " heart problems, so the good doctor said. Then he smiles and says now lets talk about the blood work. So 280 overall and 190 LDL. He then began hardselling me Crestor. I said I wanted to do some research and think it over, maybe talk to my family. He response was I am the expert,..at some point he assured me I would die prematurely if I did not treat LDL, said I was making dumb choice. I got all these test done because I was having palpitations. I have had similiar symptoms in the past. I think the symptoms are digestion related, maybe reflux. Anyway I am going to do some type of cleanse and fast. I ate very high fat diet over the holidays. Just was wondering if anyone any advice or information. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi I too had heart palpitations but all I needed was magnesium and it did the trick. I also have a low thyroid.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Yes it does not surprise me how disgustingly doctors as mouthpieces for drug companies, systematically bully those they are supposed to be sworn to benefit. I suspect it was with misplaced sarcasm the comment about you the patient being the expert. How easy it is for them in their white coats to get one to cower and to accept the drugs they are hypnotized into administering by the drug corps. Little respect or encouragement to explore, examine all the choices that are available, and to better be ones own best expert. How many sheepishly follow the pretentious doctors?
