Hello- just had blood work done and both thyroid and cholesterol are high which surprises me as my understanding has always been that low thyroid causes high cholesterol and for many years I have had regular cholesterol values with proper thyroid supplementation when prior to thyroid supplementation cholesterol had come back elevated on bloodwork. Now, all of the sudden cholesterol numbers are high and thyroid numbers are high ( higher thyroid on bloodwork is normal for me and has never bothered me as the amount I take keeps my pulse where it should be and cycles regular and other symtoms stable on this dose which is 1 and a half cynoplus tablets per day-- 3.3 grains).
wondering why the cholesterol numbers are now high ( or if this is really an issue anyway). I also eat liver once per week and eat foods with B12 so would think Vitamin A and B12 are not deficient and those are the only other factors I can think of that would not allow cholesterol to be converted to hormones other than low thyroid. Input on this is greatly appreciated. The blood work numbers are below:
Cholesterol Total: 222 H (range is < 200)
HDL Cholesterol: 47 L (range is >=50)
LDL Cholesterol 148 H (range is < 100)
TSH .01 L (range .4 - 4.5)
T4 free 1.8
T3 Free 6.7 H (range 2.3 -4.2)
