How to manage high cholesterol and vitamin D deficiency?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have just got my basic blood check done. I am worried about the report, especially the following points. Cholesterol levels, vitamin D deficiency, excess uric acid, platelet, monocytes and basophils. I would like to know whether all these symptoms together are pointing to something else. Can I get healthy without taking medicines? What should I do? In the above, does anything pointing toward kidney or liver disease or cancer? I have been smoking for the past 10 years about 10 cigarettes a day. If I stop smoking, will it help improving the above?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have increased uric acid and increased cholesterol, which are just above borderline. You can reduce that by proper diet control. I would suggest you to kindly avoid the following. Sugar, jaggery, all forms of sugar such as sweets, cakes, biscuits, wafers, chocolates, etc., alcohol and smoking. You have reduced vitamin D. I suggest capsule vitamin D 60000 IU every Sunday for 12 weeks. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. You need only vitamin D supplement and rest of the problems can be solved without medicines.As of now, there is nothing big. But, please stop smoking. It is mandatory to maintain healthy living. In addition, please do regular exercise. It can be totally 5 hours of walking per week (approximately 45 minutes per day) or 3 hours of swimming per week. Thank you and take care. Regards.

Thank you doctor,
How about the platelet, monocytes and basophil count? They are high. Does that indicate anything?
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
