    Should I start a low dose statin

    So my doctor said he wouldn't order a coronary heart scan, mainly because insurance wouldn't cover it, but I was welcome to get one if I chose to. I was able to find a place ten minutes from my job that charges 99 dollars to get one. I am scheduling it today.

    Lipid Panel Results

    Thanks guys. I have no intention on going on a statin. My triglycerides to HDL ratio is 2.2. 2.0 and under is in range, so I’m hardy in bad shape. I am going to ask for a full thyroid and hormone panel from my pcp. He is very open minded, so I’m sure he will agree. I know something isn’t right...

My energy levels are really bad and my libido is definitely heavily reduced over the last...

    Sleep Apnea Questions

    I have been dealing with low T and low rate ogen for quite a while now, and I noticed that there was a direct correlation between my levels dropping and my sleep going to crap.
