Hi there, I have high cholesterol despite the fact that I lost weight and I exercise. Do you know if herbal tablets work without side effects?

Hi, I posted my daughters results on here 5 months ago. Her gp has just contacted her to say he had just noticed on a NHS. Blood test from August 24 that her triglycerides were 13.5 and in October they were 8.8. He did explain there could be a connection between this and under active thyroid but dismissed

I recounted my tale of the phone conversation with the gp in another thread, I'll copy it into a reply here But basically I'm being referred to a lipid clinic but I have to have 2 fasting blood tests each 2 weeks apart My normal check for my thyroid blood test is on 3rd March, so I suggested having
