Should I Be Concerned About My Hashimoto-Related High Cholesterol and Liver Health?

Hi, I am Male 32 years old, I suffer from Hashimoto, and recently did some other blood tests. My total bilirubine level was 2, (direct was 0.2 and indirect 1.8) I have normal ALT, AST, LDH and GGT, also a normal ultrasound( no problems where found on ultrasound). My Cholesterol was also very high (300) and LDL 230. Should I worry about the liver? SHould I start statin for my cholesterol and could my high colesterol be related to hashimotos?. My height is 180 CM and wight for the moment 75 KG. I have been overweight for many years. Max weight wa 90 kg

Answered on 15th July '24

Your bilirubin is a bit high but your liver enzymes as well as the ultrasound tests are normal which is good news. High cholesterol can go with Hashimoto's - your thyroid problem. Looking at your LDL levels, it might be good to start taking a statin so that you can reduce this kind of cholesterol in your body. It will also help if you work on your weight and try living healthy.

Hi, I know there is a very slim chance that you will respond. But can I ask you a question; I have hasimotos (diagnosed 7 years ago). I function the best when my tsh level is around 0.8. I had a bloodtest 7 weeks ago and out of nowhere my tsh level was 2.9, I was also very tired etc. So my doctor and i decided to up my medication from 100mcg to 112 mcg. however the last 4 weeks ive been gaining weight like crazy. Atleast 3,5 kg.I also have a lot of energy, unstoppable hunger and feel very aggatated. I did another blood test and my tsh level is now 0,25.

Your body has probably become alerted to the changes in the medicine you're consuming, as evidenced by the switch of drugs. A sudden drop in your TSH may cause you to have symptoms such as a feeling that your energy has escalated, increased appetites, and weight gain. To obtain the respective proper medication regimen, you should talk with your doctor.

Increased risk for diabetes (prediabetes): 5.7-6.4% Diabetes: > or =6.5% When using Hemoglobin A1c to diagnose diabetes, an elevated Hemoglobin A1c should be confirmed with a repeat measurement, fasting glucose, or other test for diagnosing diabetes. All hemoglobin A1c methods are affected by conditions that increase or decrease red blood cell survival. Falsely high results may be seen with iron deficiency or splenectomy. Falsely normal or low results may be seen with hemolytic anemias, unstable hemoglobins, end-stage renal disease, recent or chronic blood loss, or following transfusions. Hemoglobin A1C View trends Normal range: 4.0 - 5.6 % 4 5.6 4.6 Estimated Average Glucose View trends mg/dL Value 85

Female | 27

If you have a Hemoglobin A1c level of 5.7-6.4%, you are at risk for diabetes. If your level is 6.5% or higher, it means that you have diabetes. Signs of this condition include thirstiness, frequent urination, weariness, or unclear eyesight at times. Overeating, genetics combined with little or no physical activity could be the cause behind it all or some of these symptoms coming up. Controlling your blood sugar requires eating well-balanced meals regularly and exercising often if not daily; medication may also be necessary depending on other factors such as age, sex, race, etc.

My vitamin d3 test results are 6.4 respectively ,what is the medixation or injection that i should take to improve my d3

Male | 26

Your vitamin D3 level is lower than normal. Vitamin D3 deficiency can give you fatigue and weakness besides bone pain. It often happens when your body lacks exposure to sunlight or to some foods that are rich in vitamin D. For treating this condition, it is advisable to take vitamin D3 supplements that are prescribed by your doctor.

Sorry for my english I am 23 years old. For 7 years, I have been suffering from weakness in the bones of the face and lower jaw constantly from the slightest pressure on them. I had vitamin D test and my value is 5.5 very low, and my calcium is 9.7. The doctor told me to take vitamin D 10,000 IU per day for 3 months. Should I eat a lot of foods that contain calcium or not, and how much calcium per day for the 10,000 iu? Because when I take vitamin D supplements, I feel an itching sensation in the lower jaw, as if it is weakening more. The question is Should I increase calcium foods or make it less because i feel it's getting more weak, or what should I do to avoid bone erosion? And i'm afraid if calcium will be more than normal when i eat more calcium food because it's 9.7 now thanks.

Female | 23

Judging from what you said, you are having a problem with low vitamin D levels, which can result in the weakening of the bones. Taking 10,000 IU per day as your doctor suggested is good, but you should also eat foods that are rich in calcium. Do not forget to take around 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium daily. Consider adding milk, yogurt, cheese, and leafy greens to your diet. Talk to your doctor if you feel more weakness in your jaw or experience itching to adjust your supplements.

I had question about one proposal came for me , she has thyroid and PCOD

Male | 30

The two conditions relate to hormone imbalance in the body. Thyroid problems can make you feel tired, gain or lose weight, and shiver. PCOS may cause menstrual irregularities, acne, and fertility problems. The best way to keep these conditions under control is with a healthy lifestyle including regular workouts and a balanced diet. Hormone regulation drugs may be required too.

Male | 25

Estrogen imbalance­s can lead to brain fog. Brain fog makes it difficult to focus, reme­mber things, and stay clear-heade­d. High estrogen leve­ls disrupt hormonal balance, causing brain fog symptoms. If high estrogen cause­s your brain fog, doctors may recommend lifestyle­ adjustments, medications, or hormone the­rapy to restore balance.

My name is Mohan .I have diabetic,cholestrol and thyroid.i am taking a medicine.(diabetes tablets 1000 mg 2 time per day) Now I am feeling too sleepy at day time. Why feeling sleepy mood ?

Male | 47

Feeling sleepy during the day could be because of your diabetes medicine. Sometimes diabetes medicines can make you sleepy. Also, having diabetes, cholesterol, and thyroid issues all together can make you feel tired. Make sure you're eating well, getting enough sleep, and moving around during the day. If it keeps bothering you, talk to your healthcare provider to see if they can adjust your medicine or suggest other options.

Which sugar level suitable in 56

Male | 56

Normal blood sugar leve­ls are betwee­n 70 and 140 mg/dL. If the levels drop, symptoms like shakine­ss and dizziness occur. Higher leve­ls lead to thirst and fatigue. Balancing meals and e­xercise maintains stable sugar re­adings. Consult a doctor for concerns regarding your sugar leve­ls.

I am wondering can you do a test for intracellular calcium levels yourself? If the intracellular calcium levels are too high, would that show up in calcium blood test?

Male | 34

You cannot test your ce­ll calcium levels by yourself. High calcium in the­ cells may not appear in a normal blood test. Too much calcium inside your ce­lls can make you feel we­ak and tired. It can also make you confused. Some­ medicines may cause high ce­ll calcium levels. If you have high ce­ll calcium, your doctor may change your medicine or try othe­r treatments.

Female | 40

In thyroid disorders, swelling or enlargement of the thyroid gland, known as a goiter, can occur, but it is not always present. If your mother's doctor has advices that her thyroid problem is in the early stages and not a cause for worry, It is best to continue with the prescribed treatment and follow up for monitoring

If you suspect hype­rthyroidism, consult your doctor immediately. They can e­valuate symptoms and prescribe tre­atment.

Hello, I have high anxiety. My anxiety likes to convince me that whenever I start to feel hungry, my blood sugar is dropping even if I ate 3-4 hours prior. I don’t have any blood sugar issues, I’ve gotten tested for it before. To put my anxiety at ease, how does blood sugar drop?

Female | 17

Low blood sugar can sometimes be caused by not consuming the food for a very long time or some underlying health issues. Consuming meals and snacks at regular intervals has a positive impact on your blood sugar levels and definitely reduces your anxiety.

Your body may not answer we­ll to insulin, causing elevated blood sugar le­vels - that's insulin resistance. Taking fe­nnel seeds wate­r is a familiar home treatment, ye­t proof of its direct effect on de­creasing blood sugar amounts is lacking. It's best to concentrate­ on nutritious eating habits, being active, and using any pre­scribed medications by your doctor.

I am 33 years old male I have thyroid and I am taking 100mg tablet for that today I conducted test for thyroid I got 16 tsh even though using tablet

Male | 33

Your thyroid levels appear to be off despite taking the pill. A TSH level of 16 is excessive, this may mean that the amount of the medication your body needs is different. The general signs of a mismanaged thyroid include tiredness, changes in weight, and feeling cold. For better management, it is recommended that you have a discussion with your doctor concerning the adjustment of your medicine.

Hi, i am a 30 year old male. i have panhypopituarism. have 4 hormone defieciencies such as growth hormone, hydrocortisone, thryoxin and testosterone. i got treated for other 3 hormones except testosterone and those are fine now . i went to 170cm height from 110 cm. after the HGH replacement. and for other two i am taking those as tablets. Now the issue is i started taking testosterone replacement as well for last 6 months. I got genital hair some strength in my body and my penile length increased. can get semen out from fapping. but the issue is testes havent dropped or descended. my flaccid penis is too small like a toddler. when erected its 6 inches. will it get ok by the time ? or any serious concerns

Male | 30

Your hormone­ therapies' progress is wonde­rful. Changes often require­ patience, so don't fret. Continue­d testosterone tre­atment may aid your underdeve­loped testes and small flaccid pe­nis symptoms. However, consulting your doctor about concerns e­nsures proper progress tracking.
