To give a quick summary and the full blood results I got. I’m 36F, don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t drink coffee or tea, don’t drink energy drinks or sodas, just water. Normal weight, diet is normal beside maybe too much chocolate, and I’m definitely physically inactive and need to improve my exercise.
Last couple weeks I’ve been having bowel problems, so went doctors, thought it was gastroenteritis, but blood results I got today didn’t show any of that. So be thing that did set me off and made me really anxious was my cholesterol.
LIPID Profile:
Cholesterol 5.6 mmol/L
Triglycerides 1.68 mmol/L
HDL Cholesterol 1.06 mmol/L
LDL Chol (Calc) 3.78 mmol/L
Non-HDL Cholesterol (Calc) 4.54 mmol/L
I’m on Eltroxin 50mcg for my undersctive thyroid.
Half Beta Prograne Slow Release 80mg and Sertraline 50mg for my anxiety and depression.
My mum was recently diagnosed with it too, but I have a huge heart anxiety and recently had bad PVCs because of the fear, I had tons of ECGs and holter monitor and bloods and they were all normal, like the structure of my heart was normal etc.
But this is really bothering me but my doctor said about doing tests again in 6 months, and possibly going on medication for life if it doesn’t go down. This has kinda scared me about heart attacks and strokes now.

He said about the cholesterol that exercise helps, and to do more tests in 6 months and if it hasn’t gone down, then I’ll be on medication for life. My mum was recently diagnosed with high cholesterol too, but my heart fears are huge. Is it dangerously high? I’m really freaking out over this.
Can anyone make sense of these bloods and so far seems to be no major infection causing the loose bowel movements. I was on vermox or mebendazole for what was believed parasites, then I started antibiotics Flagyl on Sunday. Now I have another worry about my cholesterol.
