| Non-dietary high cholesterol?
Hi all, I have had messed up cholesterol numbers since I was 14, and diet and e excise has done nothing for it. I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis which is a known cause of high cholesterol, but my cholesterol/triglycerides have gone up not down with synthroid. Is there anything that could explain this? Maybe hypercorticolism?
The numbers
Pre-synthroid
Total cholesterol 218 0-200
Triglycerides 210 0-149
Hdl 32 35-90
Dldl 166 0-100
.75mcg synthroid
Total cholesterol 238 0-200
Triglycerides 207 0-149
Hdl 36 35-90
Dldl 183 0-100
