On Lovaza 4 mos. Latest lipid profile shows decrease of triglicerides from 247 to 160
BUT Increased Total Cholesterol - from a Good 181 to a Bad 230?
Increased LDL from a Good 88 to a Bad 146? Was told that my HDL is up to 52 (don't remember what it was 4 mos ago)
Obviously the Lovaza did its job to lower the triglicerides, but it seems crazy that the LDL has almost doubled.
What Gives??
All but stopped eating red meat; increased fiber; watch fat intake; not eating as many sweets (have slipped a little during holidays)
Now she wants me to start taking Crestor. My LDL was good before the Lovaza. I am confused & concerned.
Thanks for your input.
