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

Hi. I have been on 5mg a day of Ramipril . I am a bit worried as of late my pulse has been in the 55-60 range, and I am no athlete !
My blood pressure has been 110/70 on low side and 140/85 on high side. I have recently quit smoking and started to eat better, but I am concerned of heart being to slow? Anyone had this?

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

Very high BP this morning, can't get to doc, can I take more irbesartan?
I'm new here. I take 150 mg of Irbesartan at night. Blood pressure was 190/110 this morning. Can I take more Irbesartan until I can get to the doc? Their office is closed for the weekend. I do not want the ER due to the current virus exposure.

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?

Anyone on Eltroxin or L-Thyroxine by Takeda?
So, my doctor sent me a prescription for levo. I specifically asked her to use the generic name as I don't want Euthyrox that I've been on in the past since it has been reformulated to include mannitol. I know many patients have complained about Teva's levothyroxine which contains mannitol, and I've

High cholesterol?
Hello, I recently did a blood test through the company Thriva, anyway I was slightly shocked to see my cholesterol was a bit high. Should I consult my gp or are my results just a tad high and nothing to worry about? I will attach my results, thanks. Oh and the blood test was conducted after an 8hr fast
