As for the cholesterol -- mine is naturally high because it runs in the family and then meds like Seroquel and Latuda exacerbate it. Does high cholesterol run in your family? It could, of course, be med induced, though.
Good luck with the bike ride. I wish I could ride my bike here, but alas, the roads here are coated in a thick sheet of ice.  |
Thanks for the input. Yes, my father has had legit high cholesterol. Mine (total) is actually at the upper limit of ideal for those without heart disease, according to the US guidelines, and my LDL and HDL are just fine (HDL is excellent). So, I am not really sure anyone would even agree to treat me. The reason I am a bit concerned is that I am 95% vegan and eat very, very low fat and low cholesterol foods virtually all the time. It just seems like my numbers should be a bit better, given my diet and 200 miles a week on the bike.
