I’m really confused what can cause my Cholesterol to get that high!
I’m a female, 28 years old, 10 months ago I had a blood tests and the LIPIDS Profile results were (Serum Total Cholesterol = 215, Serum Triglycerides = 62 , HDL = 64, LDL = 138, VLDL = 12), I didn’t take any medicines and my doctor recommended diet and weight loss.
7 months later (3 months ago) I had another blood tests and the LIPIDS Profile results were (Serum Total Cholesterol = 222, Serum Triglycerides = 48, HDL = 83, LDL = 129.4, VLDL = 9.6) and (TSH = 1.72, T3-Free = 3.2, T3-Total =84) and (VITAMIN B12 = 292), The doctor gave me these medicines (DELTAVIT -B12- 1000 MCG, Eltroxin 50, Inegy 10mg/20mg tablets) for a month.
But I noticed that I’m putting on weight even my daily diet/routine didn’t change and I’m exercising 3 times/week, my status is getting worse I’m more tired and I feel full even if I hadn’t a large meal after one hours I feel my stomach is full with food and desire to vomit but never did.
I had a blood tests 4 days ago I was shocked by the results and the LIPIDS Profile results were (Serum Total Cholesterol = 283, Serum Triglycerides = 127, HDL = 75, LDL = 183, VLDL = 25) and (TSH = 1.87, T3-Free = 2.7, T4-Free=1.0) and (VITAMIN B12 = 492).
I’m really confused what can cause my Cholesterol to get that high and make me to put on 10 kilograms in just 3 months? thank you!

Question: I had CT Scan for throat cancer – can I trust results
Lately with my throat i have been having constant throat clearing and a chronic cough going on for maybe two months now. I have to keep clearing my throat to prevent hoarseness of voice. I had concerns about throat cancer because i use chewing tobacco so was referred to an ENT for further evaluation. The ENT performed a visual inspection of throat, nose and ears (didn’t use a scope or anything), an ultrasound of my thyroid and CT scan of my neck. On the CT scan he noted that that everything appeared normal (statements like spaces of oral floor and neck are clear and well defined, the pharynx and larynx show normal boundaries and normal wall thickness). The only thing that stood out was “there are multiple reactive enlarged lymphadenopathy seen bilaterally, normal neck CT scan otherwise”. Impression of thyroid ultrasound was “essentially normally study”. I can feel one of the enlarged Lymph nodes on the right side of my neck with is non painful and can be pushed it to the point where it can no longer be felt. I keep seeing online that a tube should be passed down the throat for observation. My question is can i trust the results of the CT scan and thyroid ultrasound to have detected some kind of throat cancer or lymphoma and put this fear behind me? I’m 24 years old.
Question: Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine …safe to repeat shots
My college told me that I need to get a(n) MMR booster shot. They said I received my first and second dose of MMR too close together back in 2002. Im not sure if I actually ever got my second dose of MMR, but I know I got the first one. Is it safe to get the MMR booster shot having only had one dose or already having both doses even though Im not sure if I’ve had them or not. I called a pharmacy and they said they can give me the shot. I just want to make sure if it’s ok. I’m 20 now if that makes a difference and I received my first dose back in 2002. Thanks
Question: Do I have HIV …Aids…my blood results scare me.
Hi I wanted to ask a question that I have been having anxiety over. I’m 28/female and have swollen lymph nodes in my axilla and shotty lymph nodes in my groin. My cbc has come back normal and my sed rate is a 2. My ultrasound has come back normal with 1.9 lymph node being the largest. My hematologist thought this was still big for being normal and sent me for a ct scan next week and a lot of new blood work that I just received the results on. She ordered an hiv test which sort of scared me because I’ve only had sex with two
guys. My HIV test has come back NONREACT. I’ve been single for the past 2 years and haven’t had sex so there is no chance that I took it too soon after an exposure. The rest of my blood work is giving me anxiety though.
FLOW CYTOMETRY REPORT
SPECIMEN: A-PERIPHERAL BLOOD
DIAGNOSIS:
PERIPHERAL BLOOD, FLOW CYTOMETRIC
ANALYSIS:
– NO PHENOTYPICALLY ABNORMAL
LYMPHOCYTE POPULATIONS IDENTIFIED.
– SEE COMMENT.
COMMENT:
The peripheral blood sample is prepared for six-color
analysis with
good yield and viability. The lymphocyte gate has 20%
of events,
and has a heterogeneous mixture of B, T, and NK
cells. There is no
evidence for B-cell monotypia, aberrant antigen
coexpression, or
antigen loss to suggest a malignant lymphoid process.
The T helper
to T suppressor ratio is normal. There is no increase in
CD34-
positive cells.
Note that flow cytometry may not detect small
numbers of malignant
cells, and that demonstration of some post-thymic Tcell
neoplasms
may require molecular diagnosis. Additionally, a
normal study does
not exclude myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic
disorders.
GROSS:
Received is one lavender top tube of blood labeled
“…..”
MICROSCOPIC:
The peripheral blood smear shows small round
lymphocytes. Blasts
are absent.
COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT:
WBC: 6.0 k/cmm
Hemoglobin: 14.4 g/dL
Platelets: 201 k/cmm
Abs. Neutrophils: 4.116 k/cmm
Abs. Lymphocytes: 1.518 k/cmm

If you look at the last few ones my cd4 says 54. Is this test an actual count of the cd4. A count like that would mean full blown aids. Thank you for taking the time to read my question. I would appreciate all of the help
