NSV - Blood work normal

phillipians413b · April 2012

I started MFP and trying to get fit seriously at the end of February. Had blood work done the first of March, four of my blood work numbers were high including trigylcerides(159 I think). and good cholesterol and one other reading was low. Had the same blood work done last week and went to the Doctor today and got last weeks results and all numbers were normal with exception of good chlesterol and it was still a little low (only by 4 points tho) but it being low runs in my family. Triglycerides were 127 (150 or more is considered high) mine have been on the high side for 15 years or more. Also the Doctor took me off my blood pressure medicine when I ask him to cut it in half due to getting dizzy occassionally. He said with my progress he did not think I need it, I do have to go back in 4 weeks to see how the blood pressure is doing but he says he is certain it will be good. He also said according to his records I had lost 40 pounds since Janurary. Hoping to stop or reduce more meds when I go to my diabetes doctor in June. Goal is to be fit and med free.

Magnificent -- congratulations! I am trying to up my good cholesterol count but when I got my results today, it only went up one point. Guess I should be glad that it didn't go down. Dr told me that she wanted me to go on cholesterol meds but I wanted to work at increasing it on my own. Feel somewhat disappointed right now. I will continue doing my exercises and watching what I put into my mouth because I do feel much healthier and more energetic. It was good to see your improvement.
