[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 140540"] I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. I'm trying to figure out why they would put you on blood pressure medications for 130/90. Unless it's because of the other stuff, cause that's really not high. With the way this doctor is behaving, I would not only find a new GP, I would want the tests redone. Second opinion. I'm not sure I would trust anything from this guy. And statins can cause other problems so while I absolutely would take them if you need them, I would absolutely not take them without checking to see if I need them. I think one of the things they check before putting you on statins is your liver, so you'll definitely want to talk about that with your new GP. Dreamer, there have been studies coming out over the last few years that show a significant increased risk of coronary artery disease among patients with RA. And of course, it's there with the lupus, too. Diabetes just adds to it. I would talk to your rheumy about whether you should have some cardiac testing, too. [/QUOTE]
