Question about thyroid &Cholesterol test results

by healthy2009, Sep 09, 2009 07:00PM
Hi All,
I am hypothyroid and using Nature Throid 1grain from last month along with Levoxyl 50 mcg. I had my lab tests for thryoid and Choleterol. This is the first time I had the cholesterol test. I will go to my Endo on friday , but I would love to get your feed back/inputs.

My lab results are :

Thyroxine (T4):  9.9  Ref Range:4.5-12.0 ug/dL
FT4: 1.35                Ref Range:0.93-1.71 pg/dL
FT3: 2.9                  Ref Range:2.0-4.4 pg/mL

Lipid Panel w/ Chol/Hdl Ratio
Cholestrol, Total : 209         Ref Range: 100-199 mg/dL
Triglycerides:  113              Ref Range:0-149 mg/dL
HDL Cholesterol:  39           Ref Range: >39 mg/dL
VLDL Cholesterol Cal: 23     Ref Rage:5-40 mg/dL

You still look like you have a little room for improvement with the thyroid results.
The cholesterol levels need a little work.....try with diet and exercise first would be my first choice.

My cholesterol levels went way up when my thyroid "whacked" out on me, but now that my levels are more balanced, my cholesterol has come way down - but then I did watch my diet quite closely as well (my one weakness is eggs).........
