Is increasing my Levothyroxine safe?
I was diagnosed as having a 'borderline' underactive thyroid in July 2018. Initially I was prescribed 50mcg of Levothyroxine which was then increased to 75mcg following my first set of blood tests. My following TSH test result was 3.4 and I have been taking 75mcg ever since. Over the last year I have

Cholesterol test
Hi I get a yearly cholesterol / thyroid test as my mother had high levels and took statins and thyroxine. I’ve been ‘invited’ to go back and discuss my levels with my practice nurse after this year’s test which is not unusual. Since last year I have changed my diet and lost 16lbs but the letter also

Effect of rhTSH on Lipids.
We can speculate. If rising TSH causes total cholesterol, triglycerides and high density lipoprotein cholesterol all to rise, why is it OK for people to see their TSH allowed to reach 10.0 (or higher) before any treatment? (Of course, we also have all the questions over the real importance of cholesterol

Can cholesterol level be affected by thyroid?
Hi there 😊 If you have an under active thyroid can it affect your cholesterol level as I've always been fine but since being diagnosed my cholesterol level is slowly been increasing & I have now been told that I need to change my diet. I have also had to cut out gluten, is this all connected? Thank

Psyllium husks - lower LDL
My cholesterol is very slightly above normal (total 5.2, HDL 1.6, LDL 3.4, triglycerides 0.7). A heart scan showed some plaque on my LAD. The consultant wasn’t concerned but advised me to lower the LDL to below 2.6. Well, I don’t drink, am maybe 4kg overweight but am training for triathlons and have

Statins and PAF meds ... should I worry?
Hi, Wife has just had her annual blood test from GP which shows her cholesterol level as 5.4 mmol/L. This has been flagged as borderline and GP has recommended she goes on statins. She suffers from PAF, but has had no noticeable events since last August when they upped her Bisoprolol following a stay

Please help me understand these results
Hello, everyone. I am confused. The results of my last test and current cholesterol test results show my LDL HDL ratio is 3.3. But looks like everything is out of whack.. If I understand correctly. You are supposed to take the total cholesterol number and divide it by Your HDL Result and that is actually

Hello, I've just received my latest results. The reverse T3 seems high which may cause the lack of absorbtion of my thyroid meds. I have a double mutation on DIO1 and DIO2. What are your thoughts of these results?
