Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I posted earlier about being dx with a sinus tachycardia, which is irregular heartbeat, and rapid pulse. The thyroid test and chest x- rays came out normal. The surprise was my cholesterol. Total cholesterol 158, he said the ratio of good/bad cholesterol was excellent. Now I have never had high numbers, but I remember it being around 180 and I had alot more bad than good. I have not changed anything and I don't take any kind of medicine for it. Maybe gleevec does lower a persons cholesterol. My Dr. doesn't want to do anymore tests right now but if I have anymore fluttering or rapid heartbeat I'm supposed to come in a get a monitor to wear. I hope everyone in the group are doing well, and I want to welcome any new members to the group.
