Hello
i also had my blood tested a week ago. wow! all results came back fine but cholesterol was very high and sugar level boarder line. the physician immediately placed me on
Rosuvastatin 20mg daily for 6 months. Then to repeat the cholesterol test. Also she advised me to start a low cholesterol diet (avoid any part of the cow as protein, fried foods and egg yolk) and avoid sugar. also i will have to monitor my blood sugar from time to time.
i had around that period being having serious and persistent headaches which the physician explained maybe stress related or from excess cholesterol in the blood and blood vessels.
i have started the cholesterol medication and my diet. i only took paracetamol tablets for about 2 days for the headaches and i just take things easy. the headaches have disappeared and occurs only occasionally for short periods.
what am battling with now is weakness. some days i am very energetic other days am weak and cant do much
GOD help us
