background:
- high BP started at 35y, at 40y still trying to get it to normal (recently increased Lisinopril from 5 to 10mg)
- hypothyroid too, on Levothyroxine (75mcg) with "normal" levels
- recent hair loss that made me ask cardiologist if BP med has side effects(he said no)
- with thyroid issue and now hair loss, he recommended seeing endocrinologist
- blood work shows:
Abnormal Lows
Lymphs 13 (range 14-46)
HDL-P (Total) 27.6 (range >=30.5)
Abnormal Highs
Hematocrit 45.5 (range 34-44)
Neutrophils 82 (range 40-74)
Antithyroglobulin Ab 68 (range 0-40)
LDL-P 1065 (range <1000 is normal)
Triiodothyronine (T3) 112 71-180 ng/dL
T4,Free(Direct) 1.32 0.82-1.77 ng/dL
TSH 2.020 0.450-4.500 uIU/mL
Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy 32.4 32.0-100.0 ng/mL
There are about 60 things they tested on me and 6 that were abnormal high/low. Some things were at the lowest/highest threshold, but not "abnormal". I just felt the Endo. was dismissive about the results. She Rx'd Spirinolactone 50mg for the hair loss.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've started taking a Centrum Silver multivitamin.
Thank you,
The DR. said everything was good, that my Anti Ab would be high for the rest of my life because I take med. and if I wanted to see my PCP I could. She mentioned that some BP problems come from hormones.
Question:
Are these highs/lows normal?
Should I find a PCP or get a second Endo?
