yaz and high cholesterol

m thinking these tests were useless due to the Yaz and that she needed the free levels checked but does the TSH look high? We have stopped the Yaz and will retest in a month or two. Thanks.

I have also been on and off birth control over the years, most recently getting off of the pill (Yaz) 1.5 months ago. In overall good health, very active, currently training for a sprint triathlon. I have read varying information about these lesions. From being harmless and progressing with age and/or hormone changes (pregnancy, birth control, etc), to being a possible sign of an internal malignancy.

She said bleeding will stop after I finish YAZ, then switch to ALTHEA when I get my first period. She said that Althea is a little bit high on dosage compared to YAZ. My remaining YAZ pill will be finished on November 29 (two white pills for that day). **When will I have my next period if for November, I had long periods? I want to know when I will get my next period? **How is ALTHEA compared to YAZ?

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?

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.

I started having nausea/vomiting/diarrhea after a trip visiting family in March of 09. It lasted until May then went away. This year it came back again only worse it seems. The nusea is continuous. I was given Zofran ODT to help with that but it doesn't last through the two doses I am supposed to take. I was also given Nexium to see if it would help with any kind of acid reflux or ulcer. I haven't really noticed a change with that.

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.

My thyroid just went out of whack again and the Dr. just up me to 125 mcg. (originally started at .88 and then 100) I was thinking that BC probably has Iron in it and I shouldnt be taking it in the Am and maybe in the PM? Is there any truth to this? Thanks!

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.

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?

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.

I know high cholesterol can run in families and my dad did have coronary heart disease but I just dont understand the massive hike in my levels within a year as my diet is basically the same. has anyone got any suggestions. Thank you Wendy.

My cholesterol was 328 up from 230 in one year. My triglycerides are 97 and HDL 54. My VLDL Calculation 19 and LDL 255. My doctor was concerned and put me on 10mg of Crestor. That was a month ago and I am due for another blood work up in a few weeks. Reccently (twice) my hearing got fuzzy and I got a little dizzy. It cleared up after a few hours. Should I be concerned. I feel like a walking heart or stroke candidate.

I just found out I have extremely high cholesterol and fatty liver....

You numbers are pretty much right where they should be. Your total is high because your good cholesterol levels are high, which is a good thing. You LDL or bad cholesterol is within normal ranges and I calculate your TGLs at 145 which is also good. Overall, very good numbers. I wouldn't get too excited with a slightly high total cholesterol along with a high HDL, normal LDL and TGL unless you have heart disease in which case you should have an LDL under 100.

High cholesterol has been linked to the development of coronary artery disease and heart attack. With family history of high cholesterol, it is very unlikely that dietary modification and life style adjustment (exercise, stress reduction, avoiding tobacco) are going to play a substantial role. You have not provided me with your LDL, triglycerides, and HDL levels which are more important in deciding further care.

My doctor informed me yesterday that my total cholesterol is up to 238, and suggested I begin following a low cholesterol diet, and get 1 hour of aerobic exercise 3 x/week. Is there an effective diet plan including low cholesterol foods, that you could recommend?

For the life of me I can not get my LDL down, despite trying low fat diets (except for almonds!) Someone mentioned that there are two subtypes of LDL and that one is bad and the other not so bad. It was also mentioned that having a low HDL/Trig ratio normally indicated that you probably have the less bad kind of LDL. My Dad is 85 but had stents put in 7 years ago, so I don't know if that is normal family history or not. Are there any options for me. Should I go on statins?

Did a cholesterol test using the Mission 3-1 meter and results were very high. Total 319mg/dl, HD 100,Tri 86, LD 184. My BP is always excellent & CRP 0.2mg/L. Did have a root canal 7months ago followed by 6months of digestive issues which happen a week after taking a course of antibiotics. Is it likely to high a diet in protein/cholesterol & digestive issues giving these high readings?

Yes, it is common for people who are treating to find cholesterol rises during or post tx. The simplest explaination for this is that the liver is responsible for making cholestrol and so, as the liver function improves so does it's cholestrol making capabilities. My cholesterol and LDL went crazy post tx and I am due for a another check up to see if they have levelled out yet.

man who has a high cholesterol level. Your weight may be discrepant with your diet and intake of saturated fat. 80% of our cholesterol comes from our food intake.I suspect that within 6 mo you could lower that total cholesterol with a diet consuming less than 35-40 total gms fat per day <15 gm saturated fat/ day. You would kill two birds with one stone.
