Triglycerides 291 Total Chol 374 HDL 38 LDL 278 He says it is heriditary and no diet in the world is gonna change it much. But I want to try anything but going on statins.
Make some business cards and make a really cool personal web page to show off your skills and market yourself as a free lance web page designer. Do it on the side and see if you can make some money.
I use to do a lot of free lance web design, and I can't afford a domain and most people don't like to use the services of a freesite free lance person. :/
I am on statins and my LDL is less than 100. If you want to get a second opinion for the answer you are looking for go talk to smurf if he is still exposing himself to internet magnetism exposure radiation.
But your not a doctor ...... hold on.... well anyways I want a second opinion! Orders parts to fix my mountian bike. They are on the way and I'm getting off the motorcycle and gonna try exercising like a mad man this summer.
It's Bad. Your good cholesterol is really low and your bad is really high. Go here: http://www.labtestsonline.org/ As far as Ambien... I've been on Ambien for a year. I can stop and start whenever. I don't think it is addictive.
Mmm. Exercise....*Cough* Lucky for me I live next to a really beautiful mountain and when you hike up it there is some beautiful water falls and the guys and I go up with our blades and just fuck around. (Not in the sexual way.) It's fun.
In case you are lazy: In a routine setting where testing is done to screen for risk, the test results are grouped in three categories of risk: Desirable : A cholesterol below 200 mg/dL (5.18 mmol/L) is considered desirable and reflects a low risk of heart disease. Borderline high: A cholesterol of 200 to 240 mg/dL (5.18 to 6.22 mmol/L) is considered to reflect moderate risk. Your doctor may decide to order a lipid profile to see if your high cholesterol is bad cholesterol (high LDL) or good cholesterol (high HDL). Depending on the results of the lipid profile (and any other risk factors you may have) your doctor will decide what to do. High Risk: A cholesterol above 240 mg/dL (6.22 mmol/L) is considered high risk. Your doctor may order a lipid profile (as well as other tests) to try to determine the cause of your high cholesterol. Once the cause is known, an appropriate treatment will be prescribed. Elevated levels of LDL cholesterol can indicate risk for heart disease, so your LDL-C result is evaluated with respect to the upper limits that are desired for you. According to the National Cholesterol Education Program, if you have no other risk factors, your LDL-C level can be evaluated as follows: Less than 100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) — Optimal 100-129 mg/dL (2.59-3.34 mmol/L) — Near optimal, above optimal 130-159 mg/dL (3.37-4.12 mmol/L) — Borderline high 160-189 mg/dL (4.15-4.90 mmol/L) — High Greater than 189 mg/dL (4.90 mmol/L) — Very high High HDL is better than low HDL. It is usually reported as a measured value. If HDL is less than 40 mg/dL (1.04 mmol/L), there is an increased risk of heart disease. A desirable level of HDL is greater than 40 mg/dL (1.04 mmol/L) and is associated with average risk of heart disease. A good level of HDL is 60 mg/dL (1.55 mmol/L) or more and is associated with a less than average risk of heart disease. Some laboratories report a ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol. The ratio is obtained by dividing the total cholesterol by the HDL cholesterol. For example, if a person has a total cholesterol of 200 mg/dL and an HDL cholesterol level of 50 mg/dL, the ratio would be stated as 4 (or 4:1). A desirable ratio is below 5 (5:1); the optimum ratio is 3.5 (3.5:1). The American Heart Association recommends that the absolute numbers for total blood cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels be used because they are more useful than the ratio in determining appropriate treatment for patients.
A normal level for fasting triglycerides is less than 150 mg/dL (1.70 mmol/L). It is unusual to have high triglycerides without also having high cholesterol. Most treatments for heart disease risk will be aimed at lowering LDL cholesterol. However, the type of treatment used to lower LDL cholesterol may differ depending on whether triglycerides are high or normal. When triglycerides are very high (greater than 1000 mg/dL (11.30 mmol/L)), there is a risk of developing pancreatitis. Treatment to lower triglycerides should be started as soon as possible.
the web site is pretty good for cholesterol but there are loads of other test results. TSH 3rd Gen = 3.15 I looked at TSH test and it will not tell me what normal is.
NM I founf the reference range (.4-4.5) But that would make my hyperthyroid I think and thats a crock cause one of my concerns was a noticable slowing of metabalism. I think I just need to get off of my ass and exercise.
There is no way in hell exercising is going to put a dent in those numbers. What you need is a 2 x 4 upaside your head so your wife can legally make all your medical decsions for you. I sure as hell ain't going to waste my time arguing with you. Do you know how much it sucks to have a conspiracy theorist for a patient. Imagine Smurf coming up with endless reasons why he shouldn't do such and such therapy for such and such problem. That's you. Why should a doctor research and come up with a treatment plan just so you can hit them with more bullshit.
Fair enough answer and I can respect that opinion honestly. I'm kind of freaked out cause they were high like that a year before and I though I would try diet and exercise, At this juncture I'm ready to try the statins (whatever) but I have in front of me Vytorin as well as Pravastatin. I'll take the lesser of which ever evil. My question is if they are hard on your liver what precautions can be taken. What other reciprocal behaviors would multiply the beneficial effect. And if it’s hereditary then I think the sudden spike falls in line with some sort of endocrine deficiency that is age related. What is your theory on alternative therapy?
The higher the number, the slower the thyroid (hypo) Hyper normally speeds up metabolism and makes you have anxiety-type symptoms. What was your TSH?
