Feeling down. Not sure what's wrong 😕
I found out July I had a high
Cholesterol
test
in May and was being called back for another test (which was just within normal range). I soldiered on until July with my anxiety worsening although paid a couple of A&E visits with chest pains.

NHS Endo - South East - Pro T3 - Three referral choices...
At around the same I had my local surgery
test
for blood FBC, blood sugar,
cholesterol
, calcium folate, B12 Iron etc. This was just to check for my self that I wasn't encountering any other issues. To my surprise they also checked my FT4, FT3 and TSH.

Blood pressure and electromagnetic frequencies.
As I travel along the path of essential hypertension and the tests I am having show good cholesterol levels, good kidney function, seemingly no heart issues. But still mild hypertension. I read an interesting article the other day that suggested electromagnetic frequencies from house wiring, certain

Blood Test Results
Would someone please be able to tell me what these blood test results mean please? I did add them on to a previous thread but I don't think they were showing up. I was told by my GP back in July that my TSH levels were low . I admitted that I did sometimes forget to take Levo so she wanted me to go

Thyroid - updated bloods - advice
I was taking Esomeprazole and Pentasa (prescribed for anti inflammatory by gastroenterologist at Marsden for enteritis) have now stopped that medication probably 3 weeks prior to
test
. Just wondered if my
cholesterol
liver had any correlation to my thyroid? If it’s autoimmune? Many thanks!

Fatty Liver disease and Triglyceride levels
There's also a particular type of
cholesterol
associated with the liver called VLDL: Is this a
test
that an NHS GP can do or is it a specialist test?

Zyprexa withdrawal...
Now my psychiatrist says to start withdrawing the zyprexa as this med requires a
cholesterol
