Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Could recent sports or physical exertion account for this elevation?
  • Does this need review in the context of my statin medication?
  • Should we recheck after 48 hours of muscular rest?

Do you have a full blood test report?
