Avatar n tn The interventions are more oriented to risk factors modification like decreasing weight; aerobic exercise; decreasing foods w/ high content of cholesterol and carbohydrates; and increasing fish, nuts, olive oil, cereal, vegetables and fruits intake. If your kids have an increased risk for high cholesterol (i.e. obesity) it would be reasonable to measure the cholesterol, to define how aggressive has to be the intervention. Good luck.

According to Dr Sandra Cabot "the risk of cardiovascular disease can be reduced by 50% by taking oestrogen at or soon after the menopause". Phytoestrogens are a natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy. Found naturally in plants, phytoestrogens may help protect against breast cancer, bone loss, hot flashes, and high cholesterol.

Avatar n tn I am extremely depressed and am suffering with hypothyroidism, low testosterone, too much estrogen, high cholesterol and low Vitamin D what is wrong with me? I originally thought that everything here is linked to depression from stress and anxiety so I started taking Lexapro for the depression. But my wife thinks that maybe all of these things are linked to a health issue. About 11 months ago I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and low thyroid, so I am taking red rice yeast and .
Avatar f tn 35, ldl 113, hdl 109, total chol. 228. As you can see, the trig. is very low 35, and the hdl is very high. I have actually had my trig. below 32. Is this bad. I've read that that having hdl too high and trig. too low is not good?
Avatar f tn Your estrogen levels are way too high. Total estrogen normal reference range: Day 1 - 10: 61 - 394pg/mL, Day 11–20: 122–437 pg/mL; Day 21–30: 156–350 pg/mL. High estrogen leads to excessive production of thyroid binding globulin (TBG). Although there are enough thyroid hormones in the blood, they are not taken up by the body's cells as they are inactivated by TBG. In other words, thyroid labs are in range but you have signs of low thyroid function.
Avatar n tn It turned out that I had not ovulated those months which was part of the cause of my infertility. So yes a low FSH level is good but if the estrogen is high, it could mean you didn't ovulate and you have a leftover active follicle producing estrogen. Good luck.
Avatar n tn ) ANYWAY, two days on the estrogen lotion and my shoulder pain and weakness and let up SO MUCH! This is the first time I have had any relief in about 5 years. Anyway, this is just a suggestion and I hope that you find relief soon because I def know where you are coming from!!

Avatar n tn Infection is the most common cause CRP levels fluctuate from day to day, and levels increase with aging, high blood pressure, alcohol use, smoking, low levels of physical activity, chronic fatigue, coffee consumption, having elevated triglycerides, insulin resistance or diabetes, taking estrogen, eating a high protein diet, and suffering sleep disturbances, or depression.
Avatar m tn My doctor told me that my cholerestrol is to high but when I did all the ratios they were excellent. I have a very high HDL but also a high LDL and I have been on thyroid medicine for 30 years. Is there a cooralation?

Avatar n tn My total cholesterol was 548 2 months ago increased synthroid from 50 to 100 now cholesterol is 240 and we have increased synthroid to 125.No cholesterol pills just synthrois increase. Good Luck.My blood pressure is high as well. I have hypo with hashimoto's.
Avatar f tn (depression,facial hair growth,acne, high cholesterol, high insulin,weight gain upper body, too much testosterone,breast cysts and probably ovarian cysts). I lost 100 pounds from a gastric bypass but am still about 50 pounds overweight. Do fat cells secrete estrogen? Do I even need estrogen replacement? I used a bioidentical progesterone cream in the past. I was on Yaz birth control before the surgery. Without that I was practically psychotic.I am more miserable now than before surgery.
Avatar m tn d put the worry of the statin on the shelf, and save the worry for the cholesterol numbers. Your LDL is pretty high and your HDL is so-so, doctors like to see a 3-1 ratio of bad-good cholesterol readings. Both Ed and I have zippers in our chests from open heart surgery to prove high cholesterol numbers can lead to serious heart problems. I agree with Ed that inflammation of the arteries is a big issue.
Avatar f tn After several heart events years ago, my cholesterol medication dosage was raised so high that I began to lose hair and I have always had a thick, healthy head of hair, so it was a little disconcerting when I saw how much of it was falling out. However, once my body got accustomed to the cholesterol meds, the hair loss issues pretty much resolved themselves.
Avatar n tn Being overweight does not mean that that is a cause of high cholesterol. I am very overweight at the moment and my bad cholesterol levels have never been high. I do eat a lot of fresh fruit, salads and vegetables. I do not eat a lot of red meat (but do love beef which we have as a special treat - mainly because beef is more expensive that other meat products). Best wishes.
Avatar f tn I just my physical done two weeks ago and my doctor called me back telling me that my cholesterol is very high and that she needed to increased my synthroid (thyroid replacement medicine) from 150 mcg to 175 mcg. The reason for the increase she says was because my thyroid is "sluggish"? So I asked her if my thyroid being sluggish has anything to do with my high cholesterol and her answer was no. Could this be related? Isn't part of the thyroid function to control your metabolism?
Avatar f tn QUIT smoking or vaping. This causes a myriad of issues and is linked to high ldl cholesterol. For triglycerides, alcohol is a big culprit. Also true . . . drinking alcohol raises blood pressure. Eat whole grains and avoid sugar. Niacin (*** check with doctor first before taking!!) and B vitamins (okay to take on your own) are also said to help. https://www.webmd.
