What Causes Elevated LDL And Triglyceride Level?
Question: Currently i am taking any kind of medicine but wondering what to do. Please guide me. Thanks
Brief Answer:
Explained below
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
I have gone through your reports.
Your total cholesterol and LDL are increased.
Triglycerides are slightly elevated. It could be due to overweight or due to uncontrollable sugar levels.
It seems you are taking Tonact TG for it.
And your fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels are increased though you take medications for it. Your sugar levels should be under control.
Thyroid profile: your T4 level is increased which indicates overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
I suggest you visit an endocrinologist who would take care of blood sugar levels and T4 level as well. Doctor may advice blood tests for thyroid like free T3, T4 and TSH to confirm diagnosis. Doctor may alter the medications to control your blood sugar levels.
I also suggest you get HbA1C test done
Complete blood picture: I can see that your lymphocyte count is increased.
It indicates inflammation or any recent infections in body. It could be thyroid inflammation.
Rarely this count will be increased in Leukemia.
I suggest you do regular brisk walk for 30 minutes (3-4 km) daily.
Maintain your diet as well.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.

Yes, medications, regular exercises and diet definitely would help you.

Avoid fatty, oily, fast and junk food.
Drink plenty of water.
