Re: Hypertension, I has it
Last year, after getting my blood test results back, my doctor told me I was a non-textbook case because other than high blood pressure I have no other signs of problems with being obese. Well, once again, new doctor, new blood tests, same story, no other problems.
1. I am not diabetic: fasting blood glucose = 74 (<100 is good, 72 is mean normal)
2. I do not have high cholesterol: HDL [good] cholesterol = 50 (40-59 is medium)
LDL [bad] cholesterol = 131 (130-159 is borderline high)
HDL:LDL ratio = 0.38 (0.30 or higher is okay, 0.40 or higher is better)
3. I do not have a fatty liver: Triglycerides = 124 (<150 is good, under 200 is okay)
4. I have no problem with my thyroid: TSH (thyroid indicator) = 0.4 (in normal range)
Stupid blood pressure.
