Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through all the data posted. All the reports are within normal limits except for the cholesterol level (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your LDL is 139 mg/dL. So, whether to start treatment for this elevation of cholesterol depends upon the presence of comorbidities or not. Kindly tell me whether you have diabetes or hypertension. If you do not have any of those, then you need not take medications. I suggest you start regular physical exercise and avoid fatty food and alcohol. Your thyroid status is fine, so continue the same dose of thyroid medication. For vertigo, kindly observe the position in which it starts and avoid that position. Commonly, peripheral vertigo occurs while getting up from a lying down position or turning to one side.

I hope this clarifies the information for you.
