I had some blood work the other day. My chloresterol was high. I am 31, male and weight 216 lbs. I cant loose weight despite diet and exercise. My father has had diabetes and heart problems at 50. My uncle had bypass surgery at 42 and also has diabetes as does everyne on my fathers side. All tests were after fasting overnight. glucose 103 C-Peptide 2.8 (1.1 - 5.0) total testosterone 310 (260-1000) free testosterone 11.7 (9.5-29.7) free testosteron % .4 (.2-.7 %) TSH 3.35 (.35-5.5) T3 up 29.15 (24.4-39.1) T4 8.5 (8.5-10.5) Insulin 10.0 (5.0-35.0) Triglyercides 231 (150) Chloresterol 207 (200) There wer others but I will not bore you. Also I had this test taken at 6:45 a.m. in the morning. Willt his make a difference especially in the testoserone as I hear it is the highest in the morning. WOuld that mean I may be low if taken in the afternoon? If you exercise and diet you WILL lose weight. period. You can start now - or wait and see if you survive your 1st heart attack (like I did) then you will try and take control of your life. You have too many risk factors now ..... see a doctor (cardiologist) and have a stress test ASAP! |

He was worried about it, as is seriously overweight and has some heart issues (intermittent tachycardia). It turned out that they did it differently than he expected. Rather than having him actually exercise, they had him lie on a table and just injected him with something that increased his heart rate (I suppose something like epinephrine, but I don't know). They were monitoring him and were ready to take action immediately if anything went wrong. This sounds like a much more cautious approach for someone who may have a greater-than-average risk of heart attack. Chris |
