Only triglycerides level is high
I have cholesterol problem when i was in college i.e. from 2012. Since then i was on medication. But in 2015 and 2016 i have stopped the medicine. So naturally the level again went up. But from 2017 i am continuously on medicine. Presently i am taking Pivasta 2. Yesterday i checked up my lipid profile. The reports are as follows: Total cholesterol : 150 Hdl : 45 Ldl : 80 Triglycerides: 167 May I need to increase the dosage of pivasta? Is it a bad report? With Pivasta, i take thyrox 75 medicine. I am 33 now. So what is the chances of developing cardiological issues at this stage? Due to this lipid profile issue i have health anxiety issues, but not taking any medicine rather i am doing CBT and it works for me now. But occasionally i take melzap md.25 for anxiety. Is melzap causing rise in triglycerides? Cause the levels were normal 5 months back also. In my family donot have heart attack or stroke history. I have done ECG and Echocardigraphy. Both are normal.

Hello, I need to know your lipid profile report before starting Pivasta. Was it just high triglycerides or also high LDL and low HDL? If only triglycerides are high that is due to your hypothyroidism nor due to any anxiety medicine. Your currect lipid profile seems fine nothing to worry. Take care
