Association of Small, Dense LDL Cholesterol With Acute Myocardial Infarction in Young Population

An 18-year-old experienced severe side effects, including heart palpitations and high blood pressure, after using RU58841 once, leading to a referral to cardiology for suspected left ventricular hypertrophy. The user regrets using RU58841 and seeks advice on recovery, while others suggest preexisting conditions or genetic predispositions may be factors.

The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss and noticed elevated cholesterol levels, questioning if dutasteride caused this change. They also take Vitamin D, biotin, magnesium, ginkgo biloba, omega-3, and NAC, and are concerned about the impact of these supplements and their health on cholesterol levels.

RU58841 may cause heart-related side effects like palpitations and chest pain, though evidence is mostly anecdotal. Users report mixed experiences, with some stopping due to side effects and others using it without issues, but concerns about its safety and sourcing remain.

Male pattern baldness is linked to health risks and should be treated medically. Finasteride is effective and should be insurance-covered.

Dutasteride can lead to increased cholesterol and liver fat. The user is reconsidering its use due to high cholesterol and lipid levels despite a healthy lifestyle.

A 24-year-old male experiencing diffused thinning discusses his DHT levels and hair density issues. He has not used finasteride or dutasteride and is considering AR inhibitors.
