I want to know what could be causing a huge shoot in his triglycerides and what can be done. Really scared my dad may have CHD.
Due to my high blood pressure, I was taken off the pill in 2011, and have gained 30 pounds since, without changing anything, other than eating less in an attempt to stem the weight gain. I have lower back pain that I thought was due to my lumbar disability, then started having hip and outside thigh pain which mostly occurs when I lie down.

I am a 46 yr white female who had blood test levels that were slightly low in RBC and HCT. I had the labs repeated again 6 mths later and not only are the RBC and HCT low, now the CA is low.
