I have Pulsatile Tinnitus. I’ve just had blood test results… along with my folate B9 levels (having been very low when I first developed PT) I also have high cholesterol…
LDL (bad cholesterol) is slightly high at 3.6 (should be below 3)
Serum cholesterol is 5.4 (should be below 5)
My overall ratio is 4.4 (which isn’t considered high but the lower the better).
I’ve researched this some more and where I’ll put focus on is eating healthier, exercising. I’m also continuing to take folate supplements and see where that takes me. The folate does seem to be making a difference already.
Anyone else relate to this or have any experience to share in relation to folate and cholesterol? Any success stories/research to share?
“High cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the bloodstream play a significant role in the development of tinnitus, hearing loss, and vertigo.”
