I am 52 yrs old and menopausal which doesn’t help . Would really appreciate someone looking at my results to explain more to me .

thank you in Advance

Happy to give you my opinion but I am in no way or shape a doctor. Best to ask a professional and not depend on talk from a message board.

badically I had bloods done in Jan this year and my levels were high so they wanted repeats 3 months later . So just got them done again and was told to change my diet and exercise more . I am slim no history of heart disease .

BMI is great and weight .

Bp is fine

Liver is fine

So it’s all confusing .

Sugars are fine …

Only thing I was thinking was I found menopause a cause for sudden changes plus I have suffered with severe anxiety over last 2 yrs Also I know I have eaten a lot of naughty foods and ice cream .

No statins offered just to exercise more and eat better

What exactly don't you understand? If your cholesterol numbers are high you should follow that advice.

[Crow1 in reply to Pita123]

Yes am trying to eat healthy and exercise more

[Crow1 in reply to Pita123]

I’ve stopped the ice creams and snacks , eating more fruit and vegs and nuts and avacado and changed my milk to oat milk and soya

[Pita123 in reply to Crow1]

That's great. I added more fish and less red meat. Walk if you can't jog and drink lots of water. Best wishes!

I was confused too as I have a good diet. I just found out that I have hight unsepress8ble cortisol and this can affect cholesterol levels Anxiety is a symptom of high cortisol.

You and get your blood test numbers in NHS app or a printed copy from your GP practice.

If you can please type all the blood test numbers.

Total cholesterol, cholesterol ratio, HDL, LDL and triglyceride.

Some GPs look at calculated numbers as well. I started to research to understand cholesterol numbers 12 years ago.

Wait for your response.

Human body makes 80 % of cholesterol, 20 % is from food and drinks intake.

GPs can go risk scores to offer recommendation for life style change.
