Eight months ago I had a heart attack and was given a stent I was also prescribed metroporoilol,avropo hct,trovas,coplavix and given a nitrolingual spray. I had some information about statins before my surgery and despite not likeing what I heard was frankly bullied and frightened into taking the statins by the staff at the hospital. However after only five weeks on them I knew that I was not right and took myself off them and within about three weeks was no longer experincing the symptoms and no I have not told the GP or cardiologist because I dont want to have to battle with them. I have spoken to the cardiologists, gp’s and dieticians trying to understand what is the most benefical and actually sustainable way to eat to reduce my weight, and thereby my blood pressure and the need for medication (previously I had taken nothing) and they all say the same thing low fat,carb, fruit and veg, low protein and all poo hoo fasting, ketogenic or banting all things I have looked at.. however eating the way they suggest has resulted in no loss of weight instead I find I am gaining it. Am preoccupied with food and craving sugar or carbs constantly and thoroughly dissallusioned with the whole process I found you by accident and it all makes so much sense and I want to try this. However based on past conversations with GP and cardiologist I know they will shoot it down in flames especially the fat part of it and say its unsafe.. so my question is with my history and medication do I simply do what I did with teh statins and listen to my body and go ahead and trial it or are they right and it is nto safe for someone with my medicatin list and health concerns… I appreciate you cant tell me outright do it I just need a rough indication of what to expect and if its even possible…thank you.
