Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Please review my reports. My direct LDL cholesterol level is 132 mg/dl. HDL is 37 mg/dl. PF4 (platelet factor 4) is 0.83 μg/L.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query and saw your report. It appears that your thyroid profile is not within the normal range, indicating that you have hypothyroidism. It is essential to visit a nearby general physician who can assess you and prescribe the appropriate treatment. No need to worry, as regular intake of thyroid medication will help you manage and control your condition. Additionally, your lipid profile is also not within the normal range. To improve it, avoid excessive fried food and make sure to engage in daily walks.

When you visit the general physician, undergo a complete check-up, including checking your blood pressure and addressing any other health issues. Based on the findings, the doctor will determine whether you need medication or if lifestyle changes alone can be sufficient to control your condition. Please schedule a visit to a nearby general physician as soon as possible. If you prefer Ayurvedic medicine, provide me with your complete medical history so that I can prescribe treatment accordingly.

Thanks and regards.
