I am suffering from hypothyroidism and taking eltroxin and thyronorm. But cholesterol is raising. What to do?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Cholesterol may increase on its own or the increase may be secondary to hypothyroidism.

• A secondary raise will settle down after 8-12 weeks of optimal control of thyroid status. Otherwise it will require consideration for medication.

• Till that time please eat diet low in saturated fats/carbohydrates. 

• Avoid sweets and fried items.

• Also you can start doing exercise under supervision.

Will provide more insight if you can come up with the actual lipid profile and thyroid status to an endocrinologist online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/endocrinologist
