Cardiologist,  's  Response
Thank you for your question! I understand your concern; regarding your blood lipid profile I recommend you a change of diet to Mediterranean diet style (which incorporates the basics of healthy eating; use of flavorful olive oil and perhaps even a glass of red wine; it comprises fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains, and limit unhealthy fats); after about 3 months you have to check again your blood lipid profile on a fasting state, and if it is within normal ranges you should only continue your new diet, otherwise in an abnormally high lipids level an antilipidemic drug (such as statins) should be added. Keep walking at least 20 minutes per day.
Regarding body pain feelings I recommend you to consult first an endocrinologist to rule out any adverse effect of eltroxin (body pain, slight changes in blood test) and even the primary thyroid disorder effects (such as post thyroiditis state)
