Is hypothyroidism expected if having high triglycerides and cholesterol levels?
Patient: dear doc I had high tryglycerides 340 and high bp 110 /190 and totalcholesterol 260 I was blood tested and I am under medication stil I have the heaviness in chest with a light headache its 8 days now iam on medicine.Coul I have hypothyroidism also? Doctor: Hello There After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that high cholesterol levels depends on your lifestyle and genetics , but high cholesterol level doesn’t mean hypothyroidism should be there. You can get you TSH levels done.For chest heaviness it is recommended for you to get an ecg and stress echo done and consult a physician with reports for further management.Hopefully this information will guide you properly.Kind Regards Dr Bhanu Partap
