Re: NEW; my cholesteral went way up on blood work

[Guest guest]

I don't have a doctor and went to a lab on my own and had blood work done,

after fasting. My last blood work was 2 years ago, Cholesterol was 126.

HDL 58 and LDL 57

Now today 2 years later, age 48, My Cholesterol went up to 203 , HDL

124, and LDL 63. They have red flag on it for high Cholesterol; that normal

average 0-199

even though HDL is said to be good, they have it flagged as high too. Since

that is to be the good cholesterol is that okay??? Does anyone know for

sure, and not just guess.

Triglyceride is 78 their average or what they call normal is 0-149

WBC was low, 3.8 their average is 4.0-11.0 I have been fighting allergies

in the atmosphere, like mold and pollen, maybe that is the cause of that?

They were to do a full panel and missed part of it so I have to go back (for

free) to have them take more blood on what they forgot to run! They did do

hormones and DHEA though, DHEA was 60 out of 24-460 scale. What do you

think on that for adrenals? As I know their scales are mostly based on the

average person.

If you know a good website I can look at for hormones and blood work results

please send link.

Thank you!

It is fine - actually, those numbers are an *improvement*, since the

*ratio* (HDL to LDL) is what is most important.

Do yourself a favor - stop obsessing about cholesterol, and worry more

about eating healthy and learning how to exercise smart (HIIT).

[Guest guest]

I know that Cholesterol is not the main factor and some miss information in

the medical field, but I have never heard of anyone's HDL so high, even

though it is the good one. I do eat healthy and exercise, I will read more

about the High intensity interval training, I don't do it so much, I do

workouts such as P90X, Jillian s, etc, or put on music and use free

weights and do my own thing, and go for a walk " fast " and sometimes run a

little in-between. Only walk when going up the hills though. J

" T " is right, its the ratio that's important... so your doing good. Just keep

on doing what your doing. You know, there is really so much controversy about

cholesterol levels and with the exception of those few people with really high

cholesterol levels like up in the 500's there is no real correlation between

cholesterol levels and heart disease.

You might want to take a look at this video from a link posted to the

Sufurstories e-list.

Video shows a strong connection between Sulfur chemistry and

the ability of one's body to properly handle cholesterol.

So, you're way ahead of the average...

My suggestion? Relax, and enjoy life...

Unless you have an actual health problem you're trying to address (aside

from some 'contrived' problem like cholesterol numbers)?

[Guest guest]

Isn't it the size of the particles that matter? Whether they are small or large

and fluffy? Dr Wm at The Heart Scan Blog talks about certain types of food

promoting one size or the other. Wheat, gluten, etcetera promoting the dangerous

small cholesterol particles. Think he believes in low carb.

[Guest guest]

I never had 203 before, and I thought since the good cholesterol was high it

was okay, if that’s how they get their figure for that number, but I wanted

some input to be sure. Thanks,

Lori E

No health problems that I know about, just checking on myself to see.

Last year I fainted, not the usual blackout for a moment from getting up

too fast or working in yard getting too hot etc, but at night I was changing

the thermostat and the next thing I knew I was waking up because my face hit

the wall and then I fell backward and onto the floor, wondering how I got

there when I could see again. Then I remembered what I was doing. That was

kinda scary, but I never went to a doctor, ( I don't have one ) But I had

worked at salon 10 hours straight no sit down time that day and life beside

that very busy, so I figured I just had too much on my plate and it built

up?

I get tired at times, and thought something's up with that, but I believe it

was hormones changing, and then I got realistic about the life I live, the

way I go all the time, who wouldn't get tired. So I blew off going to

doctor, and have not had anymore passing out. But the years before that I

had another scary thing, I felt like a back wash in my chest/heart area, and

my heart raced and my breathing got funny, I talked to a few people, one

being a nurse who had the exact same thing, she went to heart doctor, he

said it was stress, too much on her plate, and it may become a heart issue

if she didn't slow down. I just took some magnesium and Hawthorn berry,

stuff for adrenals and potassium and it got better.

Years ago 15 maybe? I went to a doctor who was into natural stuff and was

an internal med doctor too. I had joint pains so bad and wondered what it

was,( he didn't know, but within 2 years they left) and while I was there

asked him about the blackouts, he took my blood pressure several times,

sitting, standing laying down, he said most peoples blood pressure goes up

when standing ,but mine goes down. He listen to my heart and said he

thought I had a slight Mitral valve prolapse. I also have spider veins, and

my legs swell when standing a lot. I take herbs for that. So that's my

health issues But most of the time I'm fine, just get tired.I'm 48, but

don't think I am J Thanks,

Hi :

My advice is forget about it.... cholesterol is very poor marker for

anything.

Read Jon Barron's pages on this... he is very good and not too technical.

Regards,

Jim

Hi Lori:

Your numbers were low and now sound much better. Not that I put much

weight in cholesterol counts. You must have made some positive dietary

changes?

The only thing I can think is I eat a lot of healthy fats, avocadoes,

walnuts, almonds, chia seeds, flax meal, flax and olive oil for salad with

lemon juice, fish oil, evening primrose oil, a little coconut oil.I have cut

back the carbs. (not the fruits and vegies) I eat fish, some chicken,

turkey, a little red meat, not much.Been that way for a long time. But carbs

have been less, and more healthy fats. That's what it must be.J
