Question 1

I'm a bit concerned after getting my package test results from Thyrocare. It seems like my lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels are pretty high, and my CBC impression mentioned something about being hypochromic. I'm not really sure who I should reach out to for guidance on this. Could you point me in the right direction?

Accepted Answer

You should consult a General Physician for further evaluation and management of your high lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels, as well as the hypochromic impression on your CBC. For high lipoprotein levels, you may be prescribed statins like Atorvastatin (10-20 mg) to lower cholesterol levels. For high C-reactive protein levels, you may be prescribed NSAIDs like Ibuprofen (400-800 mg) to reduce inflammation. For hypochromic CBC findings, you may be prescribed iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate (325 mg) to treat iron deficiency anemia.

Based on your symptoms and test results, it's important to continue following the advice of your cardiologist regarding diet changes and lifestyle activities. In addition, considering your age and the mild positive TMT result, an angiogram may be recommended to further evaluate any potential blockages in your coronary arteries. To help manage your cholesterol levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower your total cholesterol and triglycerides. It's important to continue monitoring your blood pressure and cholesterol levels regularly.

Question 3

I'm trying to understand what the results from my ECG mean. It shows an incomplete right bundle branch block, but my echocardiogram came back normal. Do I need to be worried about anything, or is there something specific I should be doing next?

Question 6

I've recently found out that my cholesterol is really high, around 280, and my triglycerides are up there too. I'm kind of worried and wondering if there's a natural way to bring those numbers down. What would you suggest?

Accepted Answer

To help reduce high cholesterol and triglyceride levels naturally, you can try the following: 1. Eat a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. 2. Exercise regularly to help lower cholesterol levels and improve overall heart health. 3. Maintain a healthy weight to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels. 4. Limit alcohol consumption and avoid smoking. 5. Consider incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts into your diet. 6. Talk to your doctor about possibly taking supplements like fish oil or plant sterols to help lower cholesterol levels. If these lifestyle changes are not enough to lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) or Simvastatin (Zocor) to help manage your levels.
