I have been put on statins and tried to lose weight with orlistat and tried 3 times to use and my throat swelled possibly lymph nodes and both rosuvastatine and orlistat can cause that. Unsure which did!
Please can anyone tell me if it is more lkely the statin or the orlistat as the doctor doesn't know?
I can do without the orlistat but my cholesterol is high 3.9 total but 3.2 ldl and only 0.7 HDL and triglycerides are high (too hig to calculate ratio apparently). HDL should ideally be 1.4 or at least 1.2
