Question 1

I'm really puzzled right now. My EKG keeps coming back abnormal, but the cardiologist didnt mention any problems before. I've started having palpitations, and there's been a lot of stress in my life lately. I decided to get a second opinion from a different cardiologist, but I'm confused. My EKG shows an incomplete right bundle branch block and a left anterior fascicular block. What does that even mean? My blood work is fine, my blood pressure is always excellent, and I dont have high cholesterol. Can you help me understand this?

Total cholesterol of 265, non-HDL of 205, and LDL of 188 in a 22-year-old female with no family history of cholesterol issues and a decent diet is indeed concerning. The fact that you have been on levipil for the past 2 months and have a vitamin D deficiency could be contributing factors to your high cholesterol levels. Levipil is known to potentially affect lipid metabolism and increase cholesterol levels in some individuals. To help control your cholesterol levels, it is important to address the underlying factors. Firstly, I would recommend discussing with your healthcare provider about the possibility of switching to an alternative medication that may have less impact on your lipid profile. In terms of managing your vitamin D deficiency, supplementation with vitamin D can be beneficial. In addition to these measures, lifestyle modifications can also play a crucial role in managing cholesterol levels. This includes following a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking. If despite these interventions your cholesterol levels remain high, your healthcare provider may consider prescribing cholesterol-lowering medications such as atorvastatin or rosuvastatin at appropriate dosages to help bring your levels under control. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels will also be important to track your progress. Remember, it's important to address all potential contributing factors and work closely with your healthcare provider to develop a comprehensive plan to manage your cholesterol levels effectively.
