It is quite obvious from medical history that you are suffering from typical symptoms of hypothyroidism. Low T3 and high cholesterol are often correlated, especially T3, play an essential role in helping the liver process and remove any excess cholesterol from the body. When the body does not produce enough thyroid hormones, the liver cannot process as much cholesterol as it should. An underactive thyroid means that the body removes less “bad” cholesterol from the blood than it should, which often leads to high levels of “bad” and total cholesterol. could you please provide me with your TSH levels ? I highly recommend you to see an endocrinologist to confirm the diagnosis by suitable tests and start the therapy to correct underlying condition of hypothyroidism thus correcting above mentioned sign & symptoms and at the same time it would bring down your cholesterol levels.
