Hi y'all. I've been hypothyroid for a while now and eating Peat-ish for about 6 months, with a REAL focus on not consuming any PUFA. I recently had to go to the doctor after experiencing a high heart rate with any kind of activity. The docs finally diagnosed me with "inappropriate sinus tachycardia". All my labwork is fine (even thyroid profile - current TSH is 2.15 and it was 5.5 when I started peat diet) except for HDL cholesterol which is low. HDL is 34. My LDL is normal. The cardiologist said that I should use diet to raise my HDL, but when I look up which foods raise HDL, I realize that they are PUFA foods. What to do?? Does anyone think that my HDL level being this low could cause damage?. I look forward to seeing if this has happened to anyone else.
