View allI'm a bit concerned after getting my package test results from Thyrocare. It seems like my lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels are pretty high, and my CBC impression mentioned something about being hypochromic. I'm not really sure who I should reach out to for guidance on this. Could you point me in the right direction?
You should consult a General Physician for further evaluation and management of your high lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels, as well as the hypochromic impression on your CBC. For high lipoprotein levels, you may be prescribed statins like Atorvastatin (10-20 mg) to lower cholesterol levels. For high C-reactive protein levels, you may be prescribed NSAIDs like Ibuprofen (400-800 mg) to reduce inflammation. For hypochromic CBC findings, you may be prescribed iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate (325 mg) to treat iron deficiency anemia.

I'm a 43-year-old IT professional dealing with obesity and I've noticed that my fasting blood glucose level is at 148. I'm already on 1 tab of Asomex LT for hypertension which I take every night before bed. Can you suggest any medication or advice to help manage my high blood glucose levels? I'm starting to get a bit worried about it.
Fasting blood glucose should not exceed 100mgdl. The initial drug of choice for first line treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is Metformin 500mg. However, in order to get a more comprehensive understanding of your condition, you should undergo a panel of tests including FBS, PPBS, HbA1C, and URE. This data will help to curate a more effective treatment plan for you. You should also look into lifestyle modifications such as diet control, regular exercise, stress management and cessation of smokingdrinking (if you are a smokerdrinker).
