Hey guys.... We'll I've been feeling like crap for a long time.....I was starting to think it was all in my head but now I'm not so sure. I've been researching hypothyroidism for awhile and I was nearly convinced that was my problem. I went to the doc and was tested but everything came out 'normal'. We also tested testosterone and that came out extremely low at 188! anyway, here are some of my symptoms:
anxiety/ panic
lighthead/ dizzy sometimes
shortness of breathe somtimes
slow pulse (as low as 44)
borderline high blood pressure sometimes stage 1
poor memory
feeling sad a lot
grumpy/ irritable
apathy
low sex drive
fatigue/ tired all the time
no focus/ concentration
brain fog
lack of motivation
ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
low body temp (96.8, early morning in bed)
metabolic syndrome (high chol, high triglyc, high LDL, Low HDL)
last 1/3 of eyebrows seem to be thinning
anyway, here is blood work done:
WBC 7.4 (3.8-10.8)
RBC 5.24 (4.2- 5.8)
hemoglobin 15.6 (13.2-17.1)
hemotocrit 45.9 (38.5-50)
mcv 87.7 (80-100)
mch 29.8 (27-33)
mchc 34.0 (32-36)
rdw 14.5 (11-15)
platelet count 272 (140-400)
absolute neutrophils 4433 (1500-7800)
" lymphocytes 2338 (850-3900)
" monocytes 474 (200-950)
" eosinophils 118 (15-500)
" basophils 37 (0-200)
neutrophils 59.9%
lymphocytes 31.6%
monocytes 6.4%
eosinophils 1.6%
basophils .5%
total chol 219 (125-200)
HDL 28 (>40)

A/G ratio 1.4 (1-2.5)
bicarbonate 26 (21-30)
chol 202
HDL 45
LDL 136
triglycerides 102
since 2008 I have been eating healthier, cut out soda, much less candy, eating 6-7 meals a day instead of 2 or 3. I'm baffled why my Chol has increased, my HDL decreased, LDL increased, and tri's more than doubled!
I really thought I had hypothyroid but doctor say I'm ok but Testosterone is horrible. I don't what the rest of the bloodwork means any thoughts or suggestions? Advice? Thanks!
