Blood test results - am I interpreting them correctly?
I managed to get an appointment with a private endo next week, so I did some blood tests. The results are: TSH < 0.01 (range 0.27 - 4.2 mU/L) FT4 14.2 pmol/L (range 12 - 22 pmol/L) FT3 4.6 pmol/L (range 3.1 - 6.8 pmol/L) Cholesterol 5.2 mmol/L (should be <5) HDL 1.57 mmol/L (should be >1.2) non-HDL 3.66

High cholesterol & levothyroxine
Hi I have just had blood tests done @ GP to check thyroid/cholesterol. I do not have results but have a telephone appt. to discuss on Thursday this week - which normally means something is wrong. In the last six months my TSH has been 0.12-0.16 in a range beginning 0.3 & upwards. Doctor has been fine

Thoughts on Statins
Hi, I've recently had a blood test which showed I have a high cholesterol level and I have AF; my GP wants me to take Statins, he's prescribed Lipitor. Reading the leaflet has me a bit worried about the side effects and wondered if anyone can share their experience with me. I eat healthily, exercise

Statins and low LDL
I'm wondering if LDL can be too low and have a negative impact on heart health. My statin is only 20mg. After a major lifestyle change a couple of years ago my cholesterol is 2.3 total, HDL 1.4, LDL 0.9. Any thoughts?

High cholesterol...
Hello everyone, my doctor wants to put me on statins due to my high level of cholesterol. However, I have read a fascinating article by Thyroid U.K. about the link between an under-active thyroid and high cholesterol - and I wonder if, by raising my level of T3, my cholesterol could be lowered.
