I forgot to come back here when I received the results. The doc gave me a comprehensive blood work, including thyroid. According to the doctor, everything, including lipids, is normal, no diabetes, anemia, thyroid problem. Great. However, my cholesterol is 259. When I asked the doctor about it, she said it is only a slightly elevated number for a person my age. Eat healthy, and come back in 3 months to recheck my lipids and thyroid. Oh, okay. Am I coming back in 3 months? Nah, I don't think so. My cholesterol has been that high for years, and I don't have any symptoms of thyroid problem. What is going to change in 3 months when I'm not going to be doing anything different? If I'm "healthy" now, what does the doctor expect for me to do differently? Anyways, I personally don't feel my lipids is normal especially when I noticed my LDL level (bad cholesterol) is way over the range level. I'll deal with my cholesterol and come back next year for the annual check-up. Or not? Maybe come back in 3 years.
