Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think your thyroid issues are not related to high cholesterol levels nor to your stressful job. These may be related to low iodine levels .
Some tests need to be done for it as your endocrinologist may suggest you. Also continue with diet and exercise for your cholesterol level. If it persists, continue with the medication.

Best Regards,
